Medical Humanities degree and Museum Studies Minor

by advising＠lists.sis.utsa.edu

Good afternoon everyone, UTSA's degree in Medical Humanities has now received official approval. The B.A. in Medical Humanities is housed within the Department of Philosophy and Classics in the 2015-16 catalog. The department is currently working with the registrar in order to have the MHU courses listed on the fall 2015 schedule. AHUM is continuing to work with the department on developing the degree checklists. The degree offers two concentrations: Pre-Medicine and Health Careers. The most current draft is attached; we are told it lacks only the 4-year plans. For University College Students, the code is BA-MHU-UC. For the applicable concentration, use PMED = Pre-Medicine Concentration or HTCR = Health Careers. For students who have met requirements to leave University College, the code is BA-MHU. The same concentration codes should be used (PMED or HTCR). Please feel free to direct any questions to the Arts & Humanities Advising Center. In addition, COLFA has a new Museum Studies Minor which is also approved for fall 2015. The minor is not currently housed under a specific department; however, the lead faculty is Dr. Scott Sherer from the department of ART and AHC. For Fall 2015, MSM 3003: Fundamentals of Museum Studies will be taught by Dr. Bryan Howard, Director of Research, Exhibits, and Collections, Institute of Texan Cultures. MSM 4933: Museum Internship is also open for enrollment. Thanks, Jackie Jacqueline Segura Loden, M.Ed., LPC Director of Advising Arts and Humanities Advising Center University of Texas at San Antonio One UTSA Circle San Antonio, TX 78249 Multidisciplinary Studies Bldg 4.01.52 210-458-6513 ph http://www.utsa.edu/advise

Thanks, D Dainon Deviney Associate Director One UTSA Circle San Antonio, Texas 78249-1644 phone 210-458-4302 fax 210-458-4303 [cid:image001.png@01CDC0B0.ADCBBCC0] From: FERPA Compliance Training [mailto:roym@bmail79.shl61.bmsend.com] On Behalf Of FERPA Compliance Training Sent: Friday, March 20, 2015 7:08 AM To: April Lawver Subject: Ensuring FERPA Compliance While Using Social Media Live Webinar Ensuring FERPA Compliance While Using Social Media Tuesday, April 21, 2015| By: Timothy E. Gilsbach Register for Webinar<http://dartnellcorp.bmetrack.com/c/l?u=500B1ED&e=705A40&c=697F4&t=0&l=110...> Technological developments, including various forms of social media, present unique opportunities to educational entities at the secondary and post-secondary level to engage with students in a new way, but also present new challenges to ensuring compliance with student privacy requirements. The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) and its implementing regulations impose privacy rules in an educational context. While educational entities should be careful to ensure that the use of social media is FERPA complaint, fear should not prevent them from using these new tools. Educators can and do use social media outside of the educational setting and need to be aware of when doing so can be a violation of FERPA rules. This session with expert speaker Timothy Gilsbach will provide a review of when FERPA is or is not implicated, and what this means in terms of using social media in the educational setting. In addition, this session will touch on other areas of concern with social media in the school setting, including bullying. This webinar will look at social media and FERPA from two perspectives. It will review what limits educational entities should and should not place on their employees. You will learn what you can say or can’t say on social media to ensure that it is in compliance with FERPA. It will also review the benefits and possible pitfalls of a growing trend in educational entities to use social media as a teaching tool and what you should do to use this tool while limiting potential violations of FERPA. Plus, it will review what policies educational entities should have to address both concerns. Training Objective * What is FERPA? * When is FERPA implicated? * How to use social media in the education setting without running afoul of FERPA’s requirements? * Things to avoid on social media to prevent FERPA liability. * Training staff about what can and cannot be said through social media. * Examples of recent cases where social media and FERPA have collided. * Policies or procedures implemented by educational entities to ensure FERPA compliance in social media. * What other issues can social media raise in the educational setting?

newly admitted students not in Global

by advising＠lists.sis.utsa.edu

Several of you have reported that you've found newly admitted students who are in Banner but not in Global. The tech team working on Global is aware of the issue and trying to fix it. They think it will be resolved fairly soon, though it will require testing before we move it from the test server to the production server. I'll send a note when the issue is resolved. Jimmy James R.

A copy of the email sent to the class is also below. “I have had a unique situation arise, that I need immediate assistance with. I enrolled in Biosciences 2 this semester and was forced to drop the course over spring break and receive a “W”, due to the difficulty of the course. This afternoon, I received an email notifying me that the Biology department is removing the current professor from teaching this course and replacing him with a new professor. They are not going to count any of the previous grades and will use only grades obtained in the next month to determine the final grade for the course. I have already spoken with the new professor, Dr. Jordan and the dean of the biology department, and they have both agreed to allow me back into the course, contingent on my completing the “add” form. Is there a good time that I can stop by to get the form signed? I already have an appt. scheduled with you next week to discuss spring classes, but I would like to get this matter taken care of as soon as possible in order to re-enroll in the course.” Kind Regards, Brandy M.

I have taught introductory biology at UTSA for almost thirty years, as well as many other courses including evolution, animal behavior, the biology of human reproduction, and environmental law. During the rest of the semester, we will be using iClicker devices in class. All iClicker quiz questions can be answered with the assistance of your neighbors, book and notes. The final exam will be based only on the material we are able to cover between next Monday’s class and the end of the semester. Your eventual course grade will be based on that final exam, the iClicker grade you accumulate from this point out and one or two on-line assessments. If your grade would be improved by including the grade you have accumulated with Dr. Troyer, then his grades will be included. It is my understanding that there is a group exercise. I suggest you not begin the project until we meet on Monday. Attached is a copy of my syllabus that has been modified for the purpose of completing this semester. You will notice that we will be covering some ground that you have already visited. I can safely assure you that there will be little repetition when you compare what I present and what you have already been exposed to, though the chapters are the same. Please revisit those chapters. In the month that we have together, there are two objectives: (1) address the topics that I think are at the core of this course and the study of biology, and (2) prepare you for your next biology course, genetics. Prior to next Monday, please view the first four narrated powerpoints. Craig T. Jordan, Ph.D., J.D.
