This includes review and assessment of these programs, implementation of curricular changes, and resolving issues as they arise. Specific tasks include creation and filing of annual assessment reports, maintaining, and updating documents describing the undergraduate programs (guide updates and departmental websites), managing transfer course rules and evaluations, and guiding program change proposals through departmental/college/university approval. Collaborate with faculty on the design of new undergraduate courses and the maintenance of existing ones. This includes syllabus design, formulation of learning objectives, prerequisite updates and changes, and methods of instruction. Collaborate with members of the department who are involved in the administration of the Undergraduate Program. This person will serve on several departmental committees and may serve on university and/or system level committees.
