PRELIMINARY
SPRING 2005 CURRICULUM REPORT
PLEASE BRING THIS REPORT OF THE UO COMMITTEE ON
COURSES
TO THE UNIVERSITY SENATE MEETING ON MAY 11, 2005
OVERVIEW
The body of this report consists of two major sections: Course Proposals reviewed spring 2005
and Other Curricular Matters. Policies
and definitions governing group and multicultural general-education
requirements are under Other Curricular
Matters.
Course proposals approved by both the University
Committee on Courses (UOCC) and the University Senate are effective fall term
2005, unless a specific term is requested by an academic department and stated
otherwise in this report.
The UOCC will consider new proposals during fall
term and will submit a fall quarterly report to the University Senate in November
2005.
Routing of Minor Changes: The
UOCC has confirmed that the following minor course changes may be made without
review by the full committee: minor edits of course description, pre- or
co-requisites, grading option, and conditions of repeatability. Changes may be
submitted in writing directly to the Offices of the Registrar and Creative
Publishing, (in care of Mike Jefferis (jefferis@uoregon.edu)
and Scott Skelton (sskelton@darkwing.uoregon.edu).
The memorandum should indicate the effective term for the change(s). Note:
extensive changes may be referred to the UOCC for review.
Courses
Not Taught Report: The UOCC proposes to change the policy of dropping
courses not taught within the past three years from the fall curriculum report
to the spring curriculum report. This would allow correct listing of courses in
catalog for the following curricular year. The intention for this change is
better curriculum planning and allows departments a chance to reply earlier and
provide a better, more thoughtful response. Departments are involved in
curricular planning and staffing for the next academic year and have a better
perspective on which courses they are able to offer.

DROPPED COURSES
The University Senate agreed in 1998 that the report of the Committee
on Courses should include those permanently numbered courses that are being
dropped because (1) they have not been taught for three or more years, and (2)
the department can provide no reasonable explanation why they have not been
taught or whether they will be in the future. The faculty requires that general
education–satisfying courses be offered each year. Other courses should 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.
Courses may be reinstated within a period of three years, conditional
upon the following: (a) there has been no change made to the course, (b) the
department provides the term the course will be taught, (c) the department
provides the name of the faculty member who will be responsible for teaching,
and (d) the department provides a course syllabus with information regarding
undergraduate-graduate differential for demonstrating mastery if the course is
numbered 4xx/5xx.
By action of the Committee on Courses, the following courses are
removed from the curriculum:
