Curriculum Review
- Purpose
- The purpose of the curriculum review process at Haywood Community College is to assess each curricular program’s strengths, to identify its weaknesses, and to investigate opportunities for program improvement, particularly as they might relate to new or evolving needs in the community. Academic Services, in conjunction with the Office of Planning and Research, coordinates the curriculum review process. The process requires support from HCC personnel, both faculty and staff, from across the campus. Cross-instructional involvement fosters objectivity and thoroughness in program review.

- As Needed
- Membership
- The chair of each panel is a faculty member from a department other than that of the panel’s assigned program. Additionally, each panel includes a faculty member from the department (not the program under review), one faculty member outside of the department and one student representative (currently enrolled in program under review). When appropriate, an external reviewer with program expertise may be asked to contribute to the curriculum review.
