Discipline Review Polls

Hello colleagues,

As part of the Discipline Review process, department faculty recently completed a survey regarding how World Civilization is delivered to our students. Survey questions asked faculty to consider how they approach teaching and assessment. I am pleased to report that 71% of faculty responded. I will disseminate the results of the survey once I am able to review them.

Another part of the Discipline Review process has to do with two issues: first, should the the department discontinue the Western Civilization sequence in favor of a strictly World Civilization sequence?  The second has to do with whether the department wishes to continue offering "World Civilization" or to change to title to "World History."

The department and Discipline Review team has discussed these two issues and the minutes from the October and November meetings reflect these conversations.

Please take a moment to complete the polls below. Results will be taken into consideration by the Discipline Review team at the December meeting.  You may answer the polls even if you do not teach World or Western Civilization.

Thank you very much for your participation in this process.

Larry Davis
