NMSU 'G' designated courses have a required list of competencies (learning objectives) that the Higher Education Department wants reflected in the syllabi. They are listed by Area in the associated tab below.

 

Every NMSU student must take two upper division Viewing a Wider World courses (designated with a "V") from separate colleges. ONE of these courses can be taken from the student's home college, however, that course cannot be one that is offered by or cross listed by the student's major department and cannot be a required course in the student's major. Accordingly, students whose major requires this course cannot use this course to satisfy their VWW requirements. An alternative way to satisfy one VWW course requirement is through a study abroad program. (For details, see the Undergraduate Catalog)

AI Statements are now available for faculty to include in their syllabi. Select one of the following three statements that best fits your course to include.

Broader Use of Generative AI Permitted Within Guidelines

Use of AI tools is permitted in this course for students who wish to use them. Students must cite any AI-generated material that informed their work (this includes in-text citations and/or use of quotations, and in your references list). Using an AI tool to generate content without proper attribution qualifies as academic dishonesty.

Use of Generative AI Permitted Under Some Circumstances or with Explicit Permission

During this class, we may use AI Writing tools. You will be informed as to when, where, and how these tools are permitted to be used, along with guidance for attribution. It is important to note that if AI tools are permitted to be used for an assignment, they should be used with caution and proper citation.

No Use of Generative AI Permitted

This course assumes that all work submitted by students will be generated by the students themselves, working individually or in groups. Students should not have another person/entity do the writing of any substantive portion of an assignment for them, which includes hiring a person or a company to write assignments and using AI tools.

 

Engagement Hours

As outlined in ARP 4.23, all online classes must fulfill the minimal student engagement requirements. The formula used to calculate student engagement is based on the Carnegie credit hour, which requires a minimum of 42.5 hours of student engagement per credit or 127.5 hours of engagement for a 3-credit course within a 15-week semester. More information can be found in Vice Provost Kollmann's memo 

A sample of student engagement hours can be found here.
