PRELIMINARY FALL 2003 CURRICULUM REPORT

PLEASE BRING THIS REPORT OF THE UO COMMITTEE ON COURSES

        TO THE UNIVERSITY SENATE MEETING ON DECEMBER 3, 2003       

 

 

 

The body of this report consists of two major sections:  Proposed Course Changes for Fall 2004 (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.

 

 

 

The Committee on Courses offers the following reminders:

 

ü       The Committee on Courses will no longer accept the old manual course proposal forms as of Winter 2003.  The electronic forms are available on the CAS web site, http://casweb.uoregon.edu/scripts/index.asp. Arrangements for access may be made with Peter Campbell in the CAS office, knroc@cas or 6-3336. Future proposals submitted on old forms will be returned, without review, to academic departments, schools, or colleges.

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.  That committee reviews all group-satisfying proposals at the end of the University Committee on Courses review period.

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 3, 2003:  University Senate considers Fall 2003 preliminary report of the University Committee on Courses.

 

July 2004:                  Publication of 2004-2005 University of Oregon Catalog.  (The changes in this report will first appear in

                  the 2004-2005 catalog.)

 

 

 

 

 

The University of Oregon Committee on Courses moves that Proposed Course Changes for Fall 2004 (unless otherwise stated) and Other Curricular Matters be approved.  If approved, changes are effective Fall 2004 unless stated otherwise.  Changes in this report will first appear in the 2004-2005 catalog.

As the primary, commonly available, summary of a course, the syllabus serves several purposes.  It outlines the course, it denotes what students may expect from the course, and it locates the course in the curriculum.  Not only read by prospective students, it is the best, concise, description of a course by those who teach it that is available to students and colleagues.  The University Committee on Courses uses course syllabi in its review of courses.  To maximize a course the usefulness of a syllabus to students and faculty, it is suggested that it contain the following contents.

 

1.  Course Number

2.  Title

3.  Credits

4.  Term, place, time, instructor

     (For a new course proposal, indicate when it is likely to be offered, and how frequently)

     (For a new course proposal, indicate who is likely to teach the course)

 

5.  Place in Curriculum

     •  Group requirement satisfying?  (Explain why)

     •  Multicultural requirement satisfying? (Explain why)

     •  Other general education requirement satisfying?

     •  Satisfying other major or program requirement?

     •  Preparatory for other courses?

     •  Prerequisites or other suggested preparation.

 

6.  Format (Lecture, Discussion, Lab, . . .)

 

7.  Outline of subject and topics explored

 

8.  Course materials (Texts, books, readings, . . .)

 

9.  Expectations for students

     •  Explicitly (by pages assigned, lengths of assignments, etc.), or by

     •  Expected student engagement (see suggested Student Engagement Inventory)

     •  Readings

     •  Problems

     •  Attendance

     •  Project

     •  Writing

     •  Laboratory

     •  Field work

     •  Electronic media/network/online

     •  Performance

     •  Presentation

     •  Tests

     •  Differential expected for graduate work for joint 400/500 level courses.

 

10.  Assessment

     •  Methods (testing, homework, . . .)

     •  Times or frequency

     •  Grading policy

To aid in assigning student credit hours uniformly to courses in the curriculum, the committee inventories the amount of student engagement in a course.  The committee has found the following tool to be useful.  Departments preparing course proposals are invited to use this, when deciding how many SCH units to request for a proposed course, and encouraged to report to the committee how this tool may be improved for their use.

 

Please identify the number of hours a typical or average student would be expected to spend in each of the following activities. The general guideline is that each credit should reflect 30 hours of student engagement. Therefore, a 3-credit course would engage students for 90 hours total among the activities listed below, whereas a 4-credit course would list 120 hours of activities in which students are engaged over the course of the term.

 

Educational activity	Hours student engaged	Explanatory comments (if any):
Course attendance
Assigned readings
Project
Writing assignments
Lab or workshop
Field work/experience
Online interaction
Performances/creative activities
Total hours:

 

Definition of terms:

Course attendance	Actual time student spends in class with instructor or GTF
Assigned readings	Estimated time it takes for a student with average reading ability to read all assigned readings
Writing assignments	Estimated time it takes for a student with average writing ability to produce a final, acceptable written product as required by the assignment
Project	Estimated time a student would be expected to spend creating or contributing to a project that meets course requirements (includes individual and group projects)
Lab or workshop	Actual time scheduled for any lab or workshop activities that are required but are scheduled outside of class hours
Field work/ experience	Actual or estimated time a student would spend or be expected to spend engaged in required field work or other field-based activities
Online activities	Actual or estimated time a student would spend or be expected to spend engaged in online activities directly related to the course, separate from online research required for projects or writing assignments
Performances/creative activities	Actual or estimated time a student would spend or be expected to spend outside of class hours engaged in preparing for required performance or creative activity

 

 

 

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:

1. 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.

 

 

 

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.

 

 

 

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 20^th-century United States.

 

 

 

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 3.30 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.

 

 

 

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.
