Statement
of Faculty Senate Action:
APC Document 29: Add prerequisites
to DRAM 244 and 245 and change times offered
Modify course
description for DRAM 245
Effective Date: Fall 2007
1. Delete: On pg
101, the last line in the description for DRAM
244:
Every third semester.
Add: On pg 101, in place of deleted entry:
Prerequisite:
DRAM 144. Spring.
Impact: This change does not impact
major, minor, or university requirements. The change will not impact
departmental resources, but will require balance in scheduling faculty load.
Rationale: Adding DRAM 144 as a
prerequisite will provide the students with a common foundation from which they
can discuss plays. Offering the course every year will allow the students to
progress through the major or minor requirements more effectively.
2. Delete: On pg
101, the description for DRAM 245:
Continuation of DRAM 244 covering theatre and drama from 1642
to 1900. Every third semester.
Add: On pg 101, in place of deleted entry:
Development of theatre and drama from 1642 through 1900:
theatre and society, plays and
playwrights, theatre architecture and methods of production, and styles of
acting. Prerequisite:
DRAM 144. Fall.
Impact: This change does not impact
major, minor, or university requirements. The change will not impact
departmental resources, but will require balance in scheduling faculty load.
Rationale: Changing the course description will more
accurately reflect what is covered in the course and will clarify that DRAM 244
and DRAM 245 do not need to be taken in sequence. Adding DRAM 144 as a prerequisite will
provide the students with a common foundation from which they can discuss
plays. Offering the course every year will allow the students to progress
through the major or minor requirements more effectively.
