FINAL SPRING 2001 CIURRICULUM REPORT

(Passed, as amended, by the University Senate on May 9, 2001)

 

 

OVERVIEW

 

The body of this report consists of two major sections:  Proposed Course Changes for Fall 2001 (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 corequisites, 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 as 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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

May 9, 2001:     University Senate considers spring 2001 preliminary report of the University Committee on Courses.

July 2001:          Publication of 2001-2002 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 2001 unless stated otherwise.  Changes in this report will first appear in the 2002 catalog.

OTHER CURRICULAR MATTERS

 

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

SUGGESTIONS FOR REVISING DEFINITIONS OF

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.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MINOR IN EXERCISE AND MOVEMENT SCIENCE

 

 

The proposed minor in Exercise and Movement Science has been discussed and was approved by the Undergraduate Council on May 3, 2001 and is effective fall 2001.  This minor is targeted to non-Exercise and Movement Science majors, particularly to students majoring in biology, general science, and chemistry.  The degree will carry a minimum of 24 letter-graded upper division credits, 20 of which must be completed at the University of Oregon.
