Where every word on this site came from
What is quoted, what is proposed, and what does not reconcile between the catalog and the proposal workbook.
Reproduced verbatim
- Course codes, titles, credit values, prerequisites and current descriptions for all 18 CSC courses, from CUW Graduate Catalog — CSC, retrieved 21 September 2026.
- The six university learning outcome names and statements, as they appear on cuw.edu and as reproduced in the proposal workbook.
- All twelve program learning outcomes, from column B of the Assessment sheet of the program proposal workbook.
- The workbook's assessment map (I / D / AE), from its Assessment sheet.
- Four proposed course descriptions authored by the department which the catalog has not yet adopted, from the workbook's Course Titles & Descriptions sheet: CSC 5015, CSC 6210, CSC 5025 and CSC 6220. Each is reproduced in full and unedited, with a single sentence appended on agentic practice; nothing in the department’s own wording was shortened or rewritten.
Proposed here (draft)
- Revised course descriptions for the remaining 14 CSC courses.
- All 104 course learning outcomes, and every CLO → PLO mapping with its stated rationale.
- The AI-weight classification applied to each course.
- Each course's “what changes” summary.
Every proposed item was drafted against the course's own catalog description, then independently reviewed for factual conflict with the catalog, for measurable outcome language, and for whether each outcome-to-outcome mapping can be defended in a sentence. Items that failed review were rewritten.
Discrepancies left unresolved
These are surfaced rather than silently reconciled; each is a decision for the department, not for this draft.
| Item | Catalog | Proposal workbook |
|---|---|---|
| PLO 1.1 and PLO 3.2 | — | Word-for-word identical outcome statements, with identical I/D/AE rows, filed under two different university outcomes |
| CSC 5010 | Titled AI Ethics and Vocation | The Curriculum Proposal sheet agrees, but the Course Titles & Descriptions sheet still heads the same text Vocation and Ethical Computing |
| CSC 5025 | Titled Cybersecurity | Titled Data Security and Information Assurance, with a fuller description |
| Six descriptions already adopted | CSC 5010, 6230, 6240, 6250, 6260 and 6270 already carry the workbook text word for word | Still listed as proposals; for these courses the workbook records work already done rather than work proposed |
| User Experience | No such graduate CSC course exists | A full proposed description appears in the Course Titles & Descriptions sheet with no course number assigned |
| Courses outside the MSAI proposal | Eighteen CSC courses are listed | Only ten appear in the MSAI curriculum map; the workbook notes the graduate catalog is shared with the MSCS proposal |
| Current program learning outcomes | — | The Current column holds the labels PLO 1–2 under each university outcome but no text; the program is recorded as a new program |
Coverage notes
Every one of the twelve program learning outcomes is addressed by at least one course in this draft.
Coverage is deliberately uneven, and two structural facts explain most of it. Eight of these courses are shared with the MSCS program and are not part of the MSAI proposal, so they touch the MSAI outcomes only where the fit is genuine. And PLO 1.1 and PLO 3.2 are the same sentence in the workbook, so their columns are identical by construction rather than by coincidence.
