a. Rationale
for creation, revision, or deletion:
Note that this is not a change to departmental or
major requirements - it is a proposed change to college-level requirements that
would apply to almost all students in A&S.
The purpose of the change is to clarify that students must take all
courses in the required language sequence for a letter grade, not pass/fail,
and also to clarify exactly what the sequence is - where it starts, no
skipping, and so forth.
There is no mention of skipping courses in the existing A&S degree
requirements, however, the catalog entry for the Dept of FLL does bear this
notation:
Skipping Courses: Students are advised that once they begin their foreign
language courses at the 100-level, they are not permitted to skip courses in
the sequence (for example, students are not permitted to move directly from 105
to 107). The prerequisite for each 100-level course must be
observed.
b. Summary
of program:
The current wording is:
Foreign Language: (with a minimum grade of
D-)............................. 0-12
Completion of the intermediate-level course (107 or 112 or 214) in an
ancient or modern language. The number of credits needed and initial placement
will depend on number of years of high school study of foreign language.
Students with four or more years of high school work in a single foreign
language may attempt to fulfill the requirement in that language by taking an
exemption examination.
The new proposed wording is:
Foreign Language: (with a minimum grade of D-)
............................. 0-12
Completion of a sequence of courses up to and including the
intermediate-level course (107 or 112 or 214) in an ancient or modern
language. The starting course in the sequence, and therefore the number of
courses needed to complete the requirement, will depend on number of years of
high school study of that foreign language. <BOLD>All courses in the required sequence must be taken for a letter grade</BOLD>,
not pass/fail. Students with four or more years of high school work in a single
foreign language may attempt to fulfill the requirement in that language by
taking an exemption examination.
Skipping Courses: Students are not permitted to skip courses in the
sequence (for example, from 105 to 107). The prerequisite for each 100- level
course must be observed.
