FINAL
FALL 2002 CURRICULUM REPORT
(Passed, as amended, by the University Senate on
December 4, 2002)
OVERVIEW
The body of this report consists of two major
sections: Proposed Course Changes for Fall 2003 (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 co-requisites, conditions of
repeatability, and instruction type are not necessarily included here.
IMPORTANT
NEW POLICY
The Committee on Courses will no longer accept the old
manual course proposal forms. The
electronic forms are available on the CAS web site, http://casweb.uoregon.edu/scripts/index.asp. Arrangements for
access may be made with the Lexy Wellman in the CAS office. Future proposals
submitted on old forms will be returned, without review, to academic
departments, schools, or colleges.
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 Inter-College General Education 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
Inter-College General Education 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.
December 4, 2002: University Senate considers Fall 2002 final report of the
University Committee on Courses
July
2003: Publication
of 2003-2004 University of Oregon Catalog.
(The changes in this report will first appear in
the 2003-2004 catalog.)
MOTION
The
University of Oregon Committee on Courses moves that Proposed Course Changes
for Fall 2002 (unless otherwise stated) and Other Curricular Matters be
approved. If approved, changes are
effective Winter 2002 unless stated otherwise.
Changes in this report will first appear in the 2003-2004 catalog.

DROPPED COURSES
The following courses are removed from the curriculum by
action of the Committee on Courses.
These courses have not been taught for three or more years. The faculty
has recommended that permanently numbered courses 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,
immediately conditional upon the following: (a) there has been no change to
made to the course, (b) the department provides the term the course will be
taught, and (c) the name of the faculty who will be responsible for teaching.
Reinstatement forms are available on the CAS web site and
should be sent simultaneously to (1) the Registrar for inclusion in the Banner
catalog file and the schedule of classes, and (2) the Provost’s Office
(specifically to the Curriculum Coordinator) for submission to the Committee on
Courses, for inclusion in the next curriculum report.

CHANGED COURSES
The following courses are changed in the curriculum by
action of the Committee on Courses. The
committee determined that undergraduate level Thesis (403) courses would have a
maximum of 12 credits, and graduate level Thesis (503) would have a maximum of
16 credits. Titles will be standardized as ‘Thesis’ for both 403 and 503
courses. The following courses will have credit hours and titles reduced to a
maximum of 12 or 16.

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:
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.
SUSTAINABLE COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
The 2000-2001 academic year was the first year that the Committee on
Courses systematically deleted from the University Catalog courses that have
not been taught for three years or more.
In several cases, departments had
not offered a specialized course under a course number and title specified in
the catalog. Yet, similar courses had
been taught regularly in the department in various formats, under experimental
numbers (410, 510, 610), or under the general designations for special topics
seminars, workshops, or practicums (the 4/5/6 06,07,08,09 series). With time, departments had discovered that a
course description in the catalog was too specialized to apply to any of their
courses as actually being taught.
Unfortunately, removal of an
overly specialized course, although untaught, still might have consequences for
departments. Often, that course had
been the sole representatives in the catalog of subjects that are taught by a
department and are part of the regular curriculum. Dropping that course could make it appear that a department
offered no courses in that course’s subject area.
The committee has noted another,
companion problem. Over the years, the
committee has observed that new courses tailored to the particular research
interests and instructional style of an individual faculty member are likely to
fall into disuse within a few years as the person's teaching assignments and
interests change, or if the instructor becomes unavailable for teaching that
particular course.
The Committee on Courses
recommends that departments and programs develop more sustainable course
descriptions. A sustainable course
description would identify a subject area and general approach, but would not
be so restrictive as to exclude different perspectives or specializations also
representative of that subject area.
The Committee also recommends
that departments and programs be selective when proposing permanent course
status for specialized courses that can only be taught by one particular
instructor.
For example: A department with
several experts qualified to teach ceramics, but having only one instructor who
specializes in Ming porcelain per se,
might currently have a specialized course titled “Ming Dynasty Porcelains” in the catalog. A more sustainable course title could be
“Chinese Porcelains, ” or even “Porcelains,” depending upon the range of
expertise available to teach the course.
Another approach would use the topics course “Ceramics,” possibly
repeatable as the exact subject material–and transcript title–changes.
Departments following these recommendations could
then represent the full range of their curricular offerings and could maintain
a sustainable list of courses in the catalog.
MULTICULTURAL-CATEGORY DEFINITIONS
Category A:
American Cultures. The goal is
to focus on race and ethnicity in the United States by considering racial and
ethnic 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.
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.
