Course Proposal
CALL FOR COURSE PROPOSALS
The Robert D. Clark Honors College at the University of Oregon invites course proposals from tenure-related faculty members interested in teaching at Clark Honors College.
- Clark Honors College Colloquia satisfy Clark Honors College upper division requirements, and may be in the Humanities, Social Sciences, or Natural Sciences. Each colloquium is to be discipline-based, but interdisciplinary in scope; and each colloquium must be designed to encourage critical and creative thinking, writing, reading, and discussion.
- 200-level literature and history classes are part of the Clark Honors College core sequences. These classes require substantial reading and writing. Fall courses explore the pre-modern world, spring courses modernity, and winter courses examine late medieval to early modern works and eras.
- 200-level science classes are primarily for non-science students and aim to promote critical, creative scientific habits of thinking. These classes are introductions to foundations of one or more scientific disciplines, or scientific perspectives on major problems facing society, or scientific methods used within or among disciplines. Courses may or may not have a laboratory component, depending on topic. If there is a lab associated with the course, it should not focus primarily on techniques or data collection.
For examples of past courses see http://honors.uoregon.edu/curriculum/courses
Proposed courses and their syllabi should be unique to Clark Honors College. All classes are limited to 25 Clark Honors College students. The professor's department will receive $6,000 plus OPE to hire a replacement instructor for the course the faculty member would otherwise teach.
We ask anyone who is interested to submit a Clark Honors College Affiliated Faculty Course Proposal (PDF, 49k). Please attach a simple course description and a brief narrative statement that explains how the course would enhance the Clark Honors College curriculum. Anyone who would like further information should contact Richard Kraus, Director of Clark Honors College, , 346-4894.
