Justification for the new course or for changes to an existing course. (Note: Justification should emphasize academic rationale for the change or new course. This is particularly important for courses requesting upper-division status.)
Students enrolled in the Senior Seminar course PEP 4990 have a face to face class experience as well as a 60 hour practicum teaching experience. To prepare for the 60 hour practicum developing lesson plans, planning assessments, reporting scores, etc. students spend a minimum of 60 additional hours. The course currently is given 2 credits only and should be raised to 3 credits to reflect more accurately the number of hours preparing for and teaching in the practicum experience.
