PRELIMINARY WINTER 2006 CURRICULUM REPORT
PLEASE BRING THIS
REPORT OF THE UO COMMITTEE ON COURSES TO THE UNIVERSITY SENATE MEETING ON MARCH
8, 2006
OVERVIEW
The body of this report consists
of two major sections: Course Proposals
reviewed winter 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
The UOCC will consider new
proposals during spring term and will submit a spring quarterly report to the
University Senate in May 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.
