Terms of Reference and Membership
Terms of Reference
The Course Review Panel (CRP) shall decide its own meeting with a view to
- Undertaking in-depth review of common core proposals in their respective area and making recommendations to the Committee on Undergraduate Core Education (CUCE) for approval;
- Conducting thorough review on the migration of existing Common Core courses to the new framework of the Common Core Program and making recommendations to the CUCE for approval; and
- Reviewing the delivery of common core courses in terms of the fulfillment of their intended learning outcomes (ILOs), their desired competencies, and the mappings among these course ILOs, area ILOs and competencies, and reporting to the CUCE for reference and further action.
Conduct of Business
The CRP is not an approval body. Its main role is to make recommendation to the CUCE on courses that could serve the ILOs and competencies of the common core area in concern, and to advise the CUCE on the delivery of common core course ILOs. Recommendations are to be made based on a consensus approach. When a consensus could not be reached, the CRP will report the different views to the CUCE for consideration.
Membership
Convenor:
A CUCE member whose expertise is outside the CRP’s designated area(s), to be invited by the CUCE Secretary to serve.
Members:
Three representatives for CRP 1 to 4 and six representatives for CRP 5 to be nominated by Schools/AIS as shown in the table below. These representatives serve as the communication channel between the respective CRP and their School/AIS. Those nominated by the course proposing School/AIS have the role of presenting the course proposals, answering questions arising from the CRP meeting, communicating comments from the CRP and following up with a response to CRP comments. Course proposers may also join the meeting to facilitate the discussion, if needed.
