REVISED (5/7) PRELIMINARY SPRING 2003 CURRICULUM REPORT
PLEASE
BRING THIS REPORT OF THE UO COMMITTEE ON COURSES
TO
THE UNIVERSITY SENATE MEETING ON MAY 14, 2003
OVERVIEW
The body of this report consists of two major
sections: Proposed Course Changes for Fall 2003 (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 The
Committee on Courses will no longer accept the old manual course proposal forms
as of Winter 2003. The electronic forms
are available on the CAS web site, http://casweb.uoregon.edu/scripts/index.asp.
Arrangements for access may be made with the Lexy Wellman in the CAS office.
Future proposals submitted on old forms will be returned, without review, to
academic departments, schools, or colleges.
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 Inter-College General Education 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
Inter-College General Education Committee.
That committee reviews all group-satisfying proposals at the end of the
University Committee on Courses review period.
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.
May 14, 2003: University
Senate considers Spring 2003 preliminary report of the University Committee on
Courses.
July
2003: Publication
of 2003-2004 University of Oregon Catalog.
(The changes in this report will first appear in
the 2004-2005 catalog.)
MOTION
The
University of Oregon Committee on Courses moves that Proposed Course Changes
for Fall 2003 (unless otherwise stated) and Other Curricular Matters be
approved. If approved, changes are
effective Fall 2003 unless stated otherwise.
Changes in this report will first appear in the 2004-2005 catalog.
