FINAL -- Winter 2001 Curriculum Report

 

(Passed, as amended, by the University Senate on March 14, 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 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.


 

 

 

March 14, 2001:  University Senate considered winter 2001 report of the University Committee on Courses and made amendments which are included herein.

 

July 2001:  Publication of 2001-2002 University of Oregon Catalog.

 

 

MOTION 

 

The University of Oregon Committee on Courses moves that Proposed 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.

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.
