FINAL SPRING 2002 CURRICULUM REPORT

(Passed, as amended, by the University Senate on May 8, 2002)

 

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.
