PRELIMINARY SPRING 2006 CURRICULUM REPORT
PLEASE BRING THIS REPORT OF THE UO COMMITTEE ON COURSES TO THE UNIVERSITY SENATE MEETING ON MAY 24, 2006
OVERVIEW
The body of this report consists of two major sections: Course Proposals reviewed spring 2006 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 of Oregon Committee on Courses (UOCC) and the University Senate are effective fall term 2006, 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 2006.
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 corequisites, grading option, and conditions of repeatability. Changes may be submitted in writing directly to the Office of the Registrar and Creative Publishing, in care of Mike Jefferis (jefferis@uoregon.edu) and Scott Skelton (sskelton@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 has changed the policy of dropping courses not taught within the past three years from the fall curriculum report to the spring curriculum report. This allows the correct listing of courses in the catalog for the following curricular year. The intention for this change is to allow departments a chance to reply earlier and provide a more thoughtful response while still involved in curricular planning and staffing for the next academic year and can best determine which courses they are able to offer.
Multicultural Courses Policy: As part of general-education, offerings of multicultural courses at the 100, 200, and 300 levels need to be available to a wide spectrum of students from all across the University. Departments wishing to offer courses to satisfy the multicultural requirement should make such these courses available at the more general 100, 200, or 300 levels whenever possible, rather than at the more specialized 400 level.
Extended Course Descriptions for Group Satisfying Courses: All proposals for courses that would satisfy a group requirement for general-education must include a suitable extended course description, for use with the course, as specified in senate legislation:
“For all Group-satisfying courses to be offered during a particular term, faculty or departments are asked to post electronically, in the Schedule of Classes, course descriptions that are substantially expanded over those provided in the catalog. The posted course information should be understandable to someone unfamiliar with the field and should emphasize the questions or issues that reveal, by their breadth and significance, why the course has earned Group status.” (US03/04-8, May 12, 2004)

Motion
The University of Oregon Committee on Courses moves that the following course proposals and Other Curricular Matters be approved.
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 the UO Catalog. 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.

The department withdrew this proposal and will resubmit it during one of the upcoming rounds for 2006–7.
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:
College of Arts and Sciences
ANTH 222 Anth of Life Stories; last taught Winter 2003
ANTH 423/523 National/Transnational; last taught Winter 2003
