PRELIMINARY FALL 2001 CURRICULUM
REPORT
OVERVIEW
The body of this report consists of two major
sections: Proposed Course Changes for Fall 2002 (unless stated otherwise) and
Other Curricular Matters. Policies and definitions governing group
and multicultural status are listed in the main body of this report. Policies and definitions governing group and
multicultural general-education requirements are under Other Curricular
Matters.
Grading,
repeatability, sequence. Unless
indicated otherwise, courses may be taken either pass/no pass or for letter
grades. P/N only or Graded only
indicates that all students must take the course as specified in the bold
print. Separate grading options for
majors are bracketed in this report and appear in UO class-schedule notes; they
are not printed in UO catalogs. R after course credits means that the
course number may be repeated for credit.
“Sequence: after the description means the courses must be taken in
numerical order. Changes in grading
option, course description, pre- and co-requisites, conditions of
repeatability, and instruction type are not necessarily included here.
LOOKING
AHEAD
The Committee on Courses offers the following reminders:
ü If
there is any question that a proposed new or changed course might duplicate
coverage in an existing course from another department or school, the proposing
department must gain written confirmation that the other department has been
consulted and does not object to the new or changed course.
ü According
to University Senate legislation, courses submitted for group-satisfying status
must be submitted to the College of Arts and Sciences Curriculum
Committee. CAS departments submit them
directly to that committee; academic departments in professional schools and
colleges submit them to their own dean’s office, which submits approved
proposals to the CAS Curriculum Committee.
That committee reviews all group-satisfying proposals before passing
them on to the UO Committee on Courses.
ü Proposals
for undergraduate group-satisfying and multicultural courses must include
written justification, regardless of whether they are new or existing courses.
ü Courses
may not be both group-satisfying and repeatable for credit.
ü Proposals
for new courses should be accompanied by full syllabi.
ü For
400-/500-level courses, both proposal forms and syllabi must state explicitly
the substantive and measurable differences in type and amount of work for the
two levels.
ü Changes
in University Senate-approved UOCC reports take effect the following fall term
unless requested by a department and stated otherwise in the report.
ü At its
May 1998 meeting, the University Senate agreed that the University Committee on
Courses should include in its reports courses that should be dropped because
(1) they have not been taught for three years and (2) the department provided
no reasonable explanation of why they have not been taught or whether they will
be in the future.
NEW
POLICY
SUSTAINABLE
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
The 2000-2001 academic year was the first year
that the Committee on Courses systematically deleted from the University
Catalog courses that have not been taught for three years or more.
In several cases, departments
had not offered a specialized course under a course number and title specified
in the catalog. Yet, similar courses
had been taught regularly in the department in various formats, under
experimental numbers (410, 510, 610), or under the general designations for
special topics seminars, workshops, or practicums (the 4/5/6 06,07,08,09
series). With time, departments had
discovered that a course description in the catalog was too specialized to
apply to any of their courses as actually being taught.
Unfortunately, removal of an
overly specialized course, although untaught, still might have consequences for
departments. Often, that course had
been the sole representatives in the catalog of subjects that are taught by a
department and are part of the regular curriculum. Dropping that course could make it appear that a department
offered no courses in that course’s subject area.
The committee has noted
another, companion problem. Over the
years, the committee has observed that new courses tailored to the particular
research interests and instructional style of an individual faculty member are
likely to fall into disuse within a few years as the person's teaching
assignments and interests change, or if the instructor becomes unavailable for
teaching that particular course.
The Committee on Courses
recommends that departments and programs develop more sustainable course
descriptions. A sustainable course
description would identify a subject area and general approach, but would not
be so restrictive as to exclude different perspectives or specializations also
representative of that subject area.
The Committee also recommends
that departments and programs be selective when proposing permanent course
status for specialized courses that can only be taught by one particular
instructor.
For example: A department with
several experts qualified to teach ceramics, but having only one instructor who
specializes in Ming porcelain per se,
might currently have a specialized course titled “Ming Dynasty Porcelains” in the catalog. A more sustainable course title could be
“Chinese Porcelains, ” or even “Porcelains,” depending upon the range of
expertise available to teach the course.
Another approach would use the topics course “Ceramics,” possibly
repeatable as the exact subject material–and transcript title--changes.
Departments following these
recommendations could then represent the full range of their curricular
offerings and could maintain a sustainable list of courses in the catalog.
December 5, 2001:
University Senate considers Fall 2001 preliminary report of the
University Committee on Courses.
July
2002: Publication
of 2002-2003 University of Oregon Catalog.
MOTION
The
University of Oregon Committee on Courses moves that Proposed Course Changes
for Fall 2001 (unless otherwise stated) and Other Curricular Matters be
approved. If approved, they take effect
Fall 2002 unless stated otherwise.
Changes in this report will first appear in the 2002-2003 catalog.

PENDING PROPOSALS
The following information is not provided for
approval by the University Senate. It is to inform academic and administrative
departments about the status of proposals received but not approved the UO
Committee on Courses during fall 2001.
The committee will continue to consider new
proposals and those completed since publication of the Fall 2001 Final Report.
The committee will submit another quarterly report to the University Senate in
March 2002. However, only proposals that were approved in the Fall 2001 Final
Report will appear in the 2002-2003
University of Oregon Catalog.
Proposals referred back to department for additional
information.
EDUCATION
The College of Education has proposed new courses in
three new subject codes, Family and Human Services (FHS), Middle-Secondary
Teaching (MSEC), and Graduate Elementary Teaching (GET). The proposals are
referred back to the College for clarification of the programs and their
relationships with other areas within the college, the status of courses
available under current subject codes, and faculty available to teach.
POLICY FOR DROPPED COURSES
As recommended by the curriculum committee in
1994-95, and subsequently endorsed by Education and Policy Coordinating Council
(now Undergraduate Council), the Office of the Registrar sent each department
in 2001 a report listing all courses that had not been offered during the
previous three years. Departments were
asked to respond with corrections, explanations for keeping the courses, or
plans to drop the untaught courses in 2001-2002).
At its May 1998 meeting, the University Senate
agreed that the University Committee on Courses should include in its
preliminary report courses that should be dropped because (1) they have not
been taught for three years and (2) the department has provided no reasonable
explanation to retain the course in the catalog.
Departments are reminded that courses may be
reinstated within three years of their drop dates by submitting a Notification
to Reinstate a Dropped Course form (see form
attached to the end of this document).
Prior Notification: In addition to the notification from the Office of
the Registrar directly to the department chair, faculty notification of the
three-year course drop policy has been submitted to the University Senate and
approved in the minutes of spring term 1999, fall term 1999, winter term 2000
and spring term 2000.
In each of these notifications over a period of 12
months, the faculty have been notified that beginning fall term 2000 the
three-year automatic drop policy will be implemented.
Procedure adopted by the Committee on Courses
effective fall term 2000:
1)
A list of the
courses not offered in the past three years will be sent from the Office of the
Registrat directly to the academic department during the winter term.
2)
The academic
department is required to respond by the end of spring term for submission to
the Committee on Courses in the fall term.
The responses to the list of not taught courses should be sent directly
to the Office of the Registrar.
3)
Departments that do
not response to the report will automatically have their courses dropped from
the curriculum.
4)
Departments that
wish to have some or all of their courses on this list to remain in the catalog
must submit a request in writing to retain the course by providing (a) the term
the course will be taught and (b) the name of the faculty who will be
responsible for teaching. The course
must be taught during the present or the next academic year.
5)
Departments
may easily and quickly reinstate any dropped course anytime within the three
following years by utilizing the Notification to Reinstate a Dropped Course
form.
Notification to Reinstate a Dropped
Course, like the emergency
procedure, allows a department to offer the course immediately conditional upon
the following: (a) there has been no change made to the course, and (b) the
course was dropped no more than three years previously. The form is to be sent simultaneously to (1)
the Registrar for inclusion in the schedule of classes and the Banner catalog
file, and (2) the Provost’s Office (specifically the Curriculum Coordinator)
for submission to the Committee on Courses for inclusion in the next curriculum
report.
DROPPED COURSES
The following courses are DROPPED from the
curriculum by action of the Committee on Courses. These courses have not been
taught for three years or more. The faculty has recommended that permanently
numbered courses be offered at least every other year to avoid misrepresentation
of course offerings to prospective students, and ensure that required courses
are readily available to current students.

UNDERGRADUATE GENERAL-EDUCATION REQUIREMENTS
GROUP-REQUIREMENT POLICIES
The
following criteria were proposed by the Undergraduate Council and the College
of Arts and Sciences Curriculum Committee.
The University Senate approved them in May 1998.
1. Group-satisfying courses proposed by
departments or individual faculty members must be reviewed by both the College
of Arts and Sciences Curriculum Committee and the University Committee on
Courses before submission to the University Senate.
2. Group-satisfying
courses must be numbered at the 100, 200, and 300 levels. Lower-division courses must be offered
annually and upper division courses at least biannually. Approved courses must be at least 4 credits
each [Senate Resolution US 9900-6, February 9, 2000].
3. No more than three courses with the same subject code may be
counted by a student as satisfying group requirements.
4. Group-satisfying courses in art and letters, social science,
and science must meet the following criteria:
a. Group-satisfying courses in arts and letters must create
meaningful opportunities for students to engage actively in the modes of
inquiry that define a discipline.
Proposed courses must be demonstrably liberal in nature and broad in
scope. Though some courses may focus on
specialized subjects or approaches, there must be a substantial course content
locating that subject in the broader context of the major issues of the
discipline. Qualifying courses will not
focus on teaching basic skills but will require the application or engagement
of those skills through analysis and interpretation.
b. Group-satisfying courses in the social sciences must be liberal in
nature rather than professionally oriented or devoted in substantial measure to
the performance of professional skills.
They must cover a representative cross-section of key issues,
perspectives, and modes of analysis employed by scholars working on the subject
matter addressed by the course. The
subject matter of the course will be relatively broad (e.g., involving more
than one issue, place, or time).
Courses with emphasis on methods and skills will satisfy the requirement
only if there is also a substantial and coherent theoretical component.
c. Group-satisfying courses in the sciences should introduce students
to the foundations of one or more scientific disciplines, or provide a
scientific perspective on a major problem facing society, or provide an
introduction to scientific methods (including the use of mathematics and
computers) used within or among disciplines.
5. In particular:
a. Courses
designed primarily for majors are not excluded a priori from group status.
b. Courses in methods or statistical analysis
are excluded in the social sciences, but courses in theory construction are
acceptable.
c. Laboratory courses are not
excluded from group-satisfying status in the sciences.
d. Qualifying courses in arts and
letters cannot focus on teaching basic skills, so first-year German, for
example, could not qualify for group status, but reading Goethe in German
might.
MULTICULTURAL-CATEGORY DEFINITIONS
Category A:
American Cultures. The goal is
to focus on race and ethnicity in the United States by considering racial and
ethnics groups from historical and comparative perspectives. Five racial or ethnic groups are identified:
African American, Chicano or Latino, Native American, Asian American, European
American. Approved courses deal with at
least two of these groups in a comparative manner. They do not necessarily deal specifically with discrimination or
prejudice, although many do.
Category B:
Identity, Pluralism, and Tolerance.
The goal is to gain scholarly insight into the construction of
collective identities, the emergence of representative voices from varying
social and cultural standpoints, and the effects of prejudice, intolerance, and
discrimination. The identities at issue
may include ethnicities as in the American Cultures category, as well as
classes, genders, religions, sexual orientations, or other groups whose
experiences contribute to cultural pluralism.
This category includes courses that analyze the general principles
underlying tolerance, or the lack of it.
Category C: International Cultures. The goal is to study world cultures in
critical perspective. Approved courses
either treat an international culture in view of the issues raised in
Categories A and B—namely, race and ethnicity, pluralism and monoculturalism,
and/or prejudice and tolerance—or explicitly describe and analyze a
world-view—i.e., a system of knowledge, feeling, and belief—that is
substantially different from those prevalent in the 20th-century
United States.
CRITERIA FOR ADDING AN “H” SUFFIX TO A COURSE
NUMBER
The
Committee on Courses has discussed the criteria for adding an “H” suffix to a
course number and recommends the following:
The “H” suffix is intended to advise students that a
course provides honors content of significant difficulty and requires honors
effort from students. The University Committee on Courses will be looking
for evidence of the following in determining whether a course should hold an
“H” suffix designation:
1. Students enrolling should have a cumulative GPA
of at least 3.3 in their major.
2. The content of the class, and the level of
analysis, should be significantly deeper than for non-honors classes.
3. Class size should be small enough to promote
intensive student participation.
4. The faculty member(s) teaching the course should
be available for close advising outside of class.
UNDERGRADUATE MAJORS, MINORS, CERTIFICATES
MAJOR
Definition
Courses in
designated primary subject areas/disciplines in which a student commits to
gaining in-depth knowledge, skills, competence, and attitudes through a
coherent pattern of courses. A footnote
accompanies the major definition: Divisional major programs emphasize a general
and integrated approach to learning, with the student’s major program broadly
inclusive of work in several of the discipline or subject areas within the
specific division within which the student’s degree program lies (i.e.
humanities, social science, science).
For instance, a divisional major program in the social sciences would
call for the student to include within his/her major work from several of the
disciplines or subject areas in the social sciences (e.g. sociology, political
science, economics). Because of the
breadth of disciplines or subjects included in the major, the student has less
opportunity to delve in depth into a single subject area such as sociology,
political science, or economics, than they would be able to do were they in a
“departmental major” program in a single one of these disciplines or subject
areas.
Minimal Requirements
36 credits – of which a minimum of 24 must be upper
division. Departments should consider
setting minimum residency requirements.
MINOR
Definition
Courses in a designated secondary subject area or
discipline distinct from and usually outside the student’s degree major in
which knowledge is gained in a coherent pattern of courses.
Minimal Requirements
24 credits – of which a
minimum of 12 must be upper division.
Should be within discipline that already has a pre-existing major or
sponsored by department.
CERTIFICATE
Definition
An approved academic award given in conjunction with the
satisfactory completion of a program of instruction requiring one year or more,
but less than four years, of full-time equivalent post-secondary level
work. The conditions and conferral of
the award are governed by the faculty and ratified by the governing board of
the institution granting the certificate.
Minimal Requirements
36 credits – 24 upper division with 12 minimum at 400
level. Sponsoring department must
provide guidance – template/check list, name of an advisor, with notice that
student must consult an advisor to apply for certificate at least two terms
prior to graduation.
