a.
Rationale for
creation, revision, or deletion:
JUSTIFICATION:
Discussion sections will
provide small group experiences for all POSC majors in the early years of their
undergraduate careers, in addition to expanded opportunities for developing
writing and oral communication skills within the major. The change also anticipates the Dean’s Task
Force on Undergraduate Curriculum’s interest in shifting more responsibility
for skills building to individual departments.
The change will also provide needed opportunities for graduate students,
who will teach the discussion sections, to improve their teaching skills by
expanding their classroom experience.
POSC240 is required because
the faculty of Political Science believes that it is very important that majors
understand global politics and the world beyond the
Adding POSC220 to the menu of
core courses more accurately reflects the spectrum of Political Science and its
subfields.
