Consider the following for discussion: Last year the group wanted to consider separating Journalism from Film/Media. There was a decision not to move forward with that. Other comments: Visual Arts seems to be expanding into public media AZ Transfer trying to meet the needs of the ATF?s Visual communications,graphics, film, media and perhaps even video games U of A Journalism - What they would like is a grounding in writing from community colleges ? digital is layered on top of it. We don't expect them to know video production. It would give them a head start.? What they really need are solid writing skills. They start them from scratch at ASU Cronkite ? basic news writing, intro to journalism, mass communications. They also struggle with student?s writing skills. How can we present the basics of journalism, without going to a four year? Lots of students can't transfer their courses. Investigative reporting, covering civic, municipal happenings - newspapers were watchdogs. That is dying. Some things noted: No greeting in emails, not professional. There is a dividing between the two and four year colleges. Are students going to transfer or even get in? They hit roadblocks & financial aid won't cover 3 more years. While working up to bachelors, students want hands on? yet everyone wants them to have a foundation. How can we work together better so students can easily transfer their classes? Helen asked, How can we as a group of Arizona colleges and universities serve our students better? If universities don?t accept core classes as transferable, that is discouraging for students. Financial aid won?t cover 5 years. What is the overarching goal for higher education in AZ? Graduates? Then core classes should be transferable. Students should have a choice. Currently NAU takes her FMA classes from YC as transferable into their communications/media program. She tells all her students to attend NAU. What if students don?t want to attend NAU? We are not giving them choices. Editing programs: Premier and Avid, can we work together so AVID certified students from community colleges can transfer those classes? Do you want to see the software in the syllabus? Having the syllabus and more detailed for the individuals you are speaking with. Curriculum Coordinator copy of syllabus, provide additional information, Changes are rapid, so keeping universities syllabi in mind as you create your syllabi is important if you want them to transfer into program. U of A and ASU journalism is separate from film and media Transfer Advocacy Award nominations accepted January - March It helps that we meet one-on-one Research if they finish their AJEC it will help them get bachelors Developmental education need is nation-wide 50% of students are in developmental education Finishing the degrees help success rates Increase of transfer students getting baccalaureate degrees 17.5% increase Look at prefixes Email codes prefixes, to Gaye for input gbumstedperry@tocc.edu Check for accuracy ? course descriptions, etc. If there is new information please re-submit. Especially significant changes, software updates Yavapai FMA 102 approved for transfer to U of A. Testing out of classes for Film FMP at ASU takes test and submit a film Increase in exams for credit Military students are wanting credits for work experience. How do you tell what people?s competencies are? Colorado working on this, moving to a state-wide system. What records are needed? Who evaluates? What is the rubric? Mandated by their legislature. How do you know if you met the learning outcomes? This is another pressure added on this. Avid newsroom incorporated with Digital arts coming more into digital film, bridging us all together ASU split journalism school split. Cross over with Fine Arts in film and media arts The only reason to split is if we had so many issues to talk about that one area was getting the time it needed but at this point not happening.
