Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

APC Document 51:        Computer Competency for French (revised)

Add: On pg. 112, under Major in French, at the end of IV:

Computer competency: students demonstrate computer competency through completion of the capstone project.

Impact:
This proposal allows the Department to meet a SACS requirement as outlined below. It will have no impact on resources.

Rationale:
The criteria of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools require a demonstration of computer competency of every degree candidate. Furthermore, the possession of computer skills is a necessary dimension of contemporary life. The computer competencies assessed in the capstone course - research skills, word processing, and presentation software - are arguably most relevant for a foreign language major.
