HISTORY
The History Department's submission includes editorial changes and the
introduction of a Minor Program (Ref. F.72-7).
The upper division courses with a vector description of (2-3-0) have been
changed to a description of (0-3-2). The History Department was unanimous
in its view that historically such a description (2-3-0)
.
had not necessarily
required a faculty member to conduct two hours of lectures as well as a
three hour seminar. Consequentl
y
nearly all of the upper level courses
offered by the Department have no lectures and consist of three hour
seminars only. However, considerable preparation is required on the part
of students in order to achieve a passing grade and therefore 5 credits
for the course. It was agreed that a change of vector description (6-3-2)
would present the advantage of flexibility in the format of courses.
Faculty would now have the option of offering directed readings and
individual supervision or lectures if they so desired. The student would
continue to receive five hours credit and the faculty member would still
receive the regular teaching credit of three hours for a three hour
seminar to 15 students.
