Note - The Memorandum fromT. Perry, Chairman of
the German Division, .dated November 1, sum-
marizes very well the information placed
before SCUS at the time the German curriculum
revisions were considered. The German Division
has attempted to provide a stronger and better
balanced program with cleare.r structure and
sequencing for the benefit of students and with
explicitly identified scheduling rules to
permit a regular offering of courses without
requiring an increase in faculty. Specifically,
on the latter point, 300 division courses will
be offeredannually and 400 division courses,
by-annually.

(The net increase in the German curriculum
is six (6) courses or fifteen (15) semester
hours. Twelve (12) courses totalling 34
semester hours have been added and six (6)
hours totalling 19 semester hours have been
dropped.)
In response to questions SCUS was informed
that students participation in the curriculum
revision had been substantial. In fact,
a significant amount of work related to the
curriculum revision had been undertaken by
a student through a summer employment project.
Finally, the Library Collection Evaluation
indicates that holdings are adequate for
the offering of all proposed new courses and
no specific additional needs have been identified.

Calend4r Revisions-German
?
-
Date ?
NOV..l9?9
The calendar revisions for
the
German major, minor, and
honors programe
-recently
passed
by the Faculty of Arts Curriculum Commi
ttee
and by SCLS contain aiodi £1 aa tions Intended
to improve the level of instruction within the program and enhance
the
attractiveness
of the program to students. The goals of the revision fall into four categories:
1)
To give the students more guidance in their progress throu
g
h
th. program.
Experience has shown that students have proceeded through ooura.s
in
the present curriculum in a haphazard way, often going
into
advanced
courses without proper background. The proposed system of requirements
and prerequisites will a) ease the transition to
advanced levels of
study, b) provide students with optimal channeling of courses,
thereby
making the program intellectually cumulative. As a net result,
the
-level of instruction in advanced courses can be raised.
2)
To
create
a balance in
the
subject areas required for a
degree.
The present curricul
um
permi
ts
Students to study one subject area
(presently literature or linguistics) to the exclusion
of the
other.
The proposed -requirements will make the degree more substantial by
requiring a
broad
base of knowledge in all principal
areas
of the
discipline (including a new
one,
viz. Civilization).
3. To i irove the coverage of the course offerings.
The present curriculum contains some serious gaps,
both
overall (e.g.
German cultural and intellectual history is neglected) and within
subfields (
e.g. 2oth Century literature is poorly represented). The
-proposed new courses will remedy these inadequacies.
?
-
4)
To give the curriculum a more workable structure.
By eliminating some courses, reducing the semester
hours devoted to
some courses, and redefining certain other courses, the G.raen
Dlvi
zion
will be able to eliminate problem in scheduling and teaching assignments,
making
the
program as a whole
more
attractive. The
change
to a
nOVM
of
3 semester hours of credit
per
course will save some teaching ti,
and
the
more structured curriculum will permit further teaching capacity

I hope this adequately s uiar.ari sea

motivations behind
our
proposals for

GERMAN
1. Calendar Revisions 1980-81
a. Introduction
The German Division of DLLL has reviewed its present Calendar entry
and proposes to undertake the following revisions:
I.. Retitle and redefine the content of certain existing courses
at the 200-400 levels.
2.
Introduce new 300-level courses in linguistics, literature,
and civilization, and one new 200-level German language course.
3.
Introduce new 400-level courses to fill certain gaps in the
present curriculum and subsume the subject matter of some
existing courses.
4.
Delete certain courses superceded by proposed new courses.
5. Revise the degree requirements to make them more explicit,and
to adjust them to reflect the proposed course offerings.
6.
Introduce a 100-level civilization course as a general offering
by the German Division.
In constructing the proposed revisions, the Division has adopted the
following principles:
1.
Language courses, including two semesters at the 300-level, should
prepare students to pursue upper-division course work in linguistics,
literature, and civilization conducted in German.
2. Courses will, with a few justified exceptions, be designed for 3
semester hours of credit.
3. The revised program will not require addit 0 ional faculty or facilities.
To achieve this, the present practice of offering all courses annually
will be discontinued.
4. Students graduating.with a degree in German should have completed a
balanced program based on work in the three areas of linguistics,
literature, and civilization, in addition to language skills. 300-level
introductions in each of these three areas will be prerequisite for
further course work.
b. General Rationale
The present program suffers from a number of inadequacies. The degree
requirements do not stipulate that a student should pursue a course of
study that is balanced in course content. Under present regulations, it
is possible to concentrate on one or the other field in the Upper Division
(presently literature or linguistics) at the expense of the second.
Furthermore, courses in German Civilization are not presently offer'
all, so that whatever is offered in this important curricular area mr
be included en passant in linguistics and lltLrature courses. This
represents not only an inadequate method of teaching civilization, pe ?
e.
but it also detracts from those courses in which the material involved
contains vital background information that should be presupposed.
Certain areas of German Literature are represented poorly or not: at all
in the present course offerings (e.g. 20th century literature), while
others are over-represented. In German Linguistics, the coverage of
present courses is more complete, but the structure of the linguistics
course offerings makes them difficult to schedule and teach. In the
5 semester-hour courses there are chronic schedule conflicts, and the
8 ?

A.
DLLL 07
commitment of both teacher and student is inordinately large for
importance of the subject matter. On the whole, courses of this
sort have proven unattractive and inefficient. By breaking up
these courses and putting the material involved into more specific
3-hour courses, we can add variety to the program and make these
offerings more manageable for all concerned. The present German
linguistics offerings also make no provision for courses designed
for future teachers of German, although a substantial percentage
of students pursuing a degree program in German can be expected
to go on to teaching.
The present course offerings are structured in such a way that
the progression of a student through the program, is arbitrary and
therefore not academically cumulative. The result of this in
Upper Division courses is that background knowledge or even adequate
language capabilities cannot be preuspposed. The step from Lower
Division language courses to Upper Division content courses (German
linguistics and literature at present) is presently too drastic, as
there are no transitional courses between the 200 and 400 levels.
Within the Lower Division offerings there is no early
,
provision
for development of conversational skills, and the teaching of reading
skills is Inadequate for continuation into Upper Division courses,
since GERM 240-241 is presently treated as a literature course rather
than a reading skills course.
The German Division has designed the proposed revisions to eliminate
these inadequacies. New courses have been proposed to fill curricular
gaps, whIlechers have been deleted or reorganized to achieve better
balance. New degree requirements are intended to guarantee that students
choose a balanced program, without destroying their ability to choose
electives. Both the requirements and the course offerings have been
restructured so as to provide an orderly and logical progression
through the degree program, and language instruction has been intensified
so that adequate language skills can be presumed in Upper Division
content courses. Details of these changes are specified in the
attached 'documentation.

emphasize oral skills. A one-hour course with laboratory would provide
just the supplement to other courses these students need.

The present curriculum artificially separates composition and conversation
on the advanced level, where they are in fact mutually supporting 1angu-
skills that can and should be taught together. Under the present degree
requirements and course descriptions, none of the advanced language courses
are specifically required, nor do they form an academically structured
sequence. As a result, students tend to take at most two of the three.
By consolidating these three courses, which show unsteady enrolments, ir
two required courses, the language training of our students will be
structured and thereby made more efficient, enhancing their subsequent
work in content areas.

By consolidating GERM 300 and 301, and requiring them for the degree, an
adequate third-year language skills sequence is guaranteed. Since students
do not ordinarily devote the full 9 possible semester hours of program time
to the language courses at this level (usually 6 instead), this course had
proven superfluous in practice if not in concept. The teaching time freed
by dropping this course can be well used in other areas (cf. new linguistics,

PtiPTflNATI',
With the deletion of 341-3, the I in the title of this course will become
superfluous. The title can be further modified to parallel the French,
Russian,
and
Spanish titles. The change in number is intended to direct
it to a different audience, namely those students not in a German degree
program who want lower division electives or group requirements. The
present number bypasses this group by implying it is for Upper Division
students; Upper Division students, on the other hand, have normally committed
themselves to a degree program, and therefore have less freedom to consider
a course such as this.

RATIONALE:
The present introductory
sequence (240-241) fails to provide adequate
basic training in either reading skills or literary analysis, by trying
to do both. By assuming that the basic command of the literary language
Is reached
by the end of revised 240, this new course can be formulated
as a substantial introduction to literary analysis. It is not Intended
to be a period survey, as the 400-level courses provide coverage by

RATIONALE:
With no 'Introduction' that provides a broad background in several areas
of German linguistics, the more specialized 400-level courses begin
ex nihilo, and often have to duplicate the teaching of elementary
knowledge. The new course could serve usefully as a prerequisite for
400-level linguistics courses, thereby guaranteeing an orderly transition
for the students from Lower Division courses to advanced Tipper Division

Much of the material intended for this course is presented en passant in
other courses, especially the present 10-credit sequence In the history of

RATIONALE:
Morphology is presently part of the subject matter of GERM 402-4. With
the planned reduction of this course to 3 credits, some of the material
will have to be treated elsewhere. By making 402 purely a syntax course,
and establishing a separate morphology/lexicology course, a more efficient
thematic grouping can be built into the curriculum, and the area of
morphology can be given broader and deeper treatment, especially in the
considerably subject matter (e.g. Umlaut) of a quasi-phonological nature.
In addition, the topic of lexicology can conveniently be introduced into
the curriculum using this course as a vehicle.
