Statement
of Faculty Senate Action:
Modify title and course description for DRAM
317
Effective Fall 2006
1. Delete: On pg. 95, the
entry for DRAM 124, Stage Make-up (2)
Add: On

make-up as they relate to characterization, lighting, space, and décor. Includes some consideration of beards, hair, airbrushing, and
special effects. Even years Spring.
Impact: Increasing the
hours from two to three will minimally impact the major. This change will not require additional
faculty, although it will increase the course load for the faculty member who
teaches the course.

time required for Stage Make-up is in line with the course load for a
three-hour class.
2. Delete: On pg. 95, the title and
course description for DRAM 317,

Impact: This change
will not require additional faculty or resources. The course will no longer be appropriate for
Secondary School Licensure students in Literature/Language.

techniques are most appropriately used with students in grades K-6, and
focusing the course on this age group will allow the students to spend more
time developing the appropriate knowledge and skills necessary to use creative
drama effectively.

Impact: This change

Rationale: The new catalog description is a clearer
representation of the content and focus of the course. Adding DRAM 121 and 122 as prerequisites
brings the course in alignment with the other technical courses at this level
and ensures that students have the necessary knowledge and skills to
successfully complete the course.
4. Delete: On pg. 97, the
