Upper or lower division? *
For a class to be listed as upper division it must meet *at least two* of the following four criteria
developed by the Curriculum Committee: 1) have college-level prerequisites, 2) focus on a
particular topic or require an in-depth study of a subject rather than a survey or introduction, and
require that the necessary introductory study has been completed, 3) demand a readiness and
maturity characteristic of students with successful prior college experience, with skills in reading,
writing and discussion of demonstrable rigor and complexity, and 4) include course objectives
which entail high levels of cognitive, affective or psychomotor achievement. Course proposals
which do not supply a rationale for upper division status will be classi ed as lower division. In
particular, a course will NOT be listed as Upper Division without the accompanying academic
prerequisites.) Course status can not be changed once it has been accepted by the committee as
one or the other.

Your answerProposed course title * Your answer Anything the January Term Committee should know about your course If you would like to add anything beyond the description you include in your syllabus that you think will help the January Term committee understand your course, please do so here. Your answer How is this course unique from the typical (departmental) Saint Mary’s curriculum? * If you teach a similar class during the normal semester, please specify how this course is unique. Remember that January Term courses are non-departmental by policy and practice, and departmental courses, or courses that substantially replicate or resemble regular semester course, will not be approved. Your answer Prerequisites * GaelXpress can only read speci c department and course numbers, such as ENG 5 and SEM 001; it can not read general prerequisites, such as "any psychology course or science course." The Jan Term suggests adding "Or by Permission of Instructor" to allow for exibility. Please remember, however, that if your course is lower division and primarily aimed at rst and second year students, prerequisites may make it di cult for them to add your course. A prerequisite of Seminar 1, for example, will exclude all rst years, English 5 will exclude most, and English 4 will still exclude many. Prerequisites are generally more appropriate for upper division courses, or when a course requires very speci c prior learning. Your answer Draft Syllabus upload Please upload a draft syllabus that includes a title, course description, reading list, learning outcomes, basis for nal grade (i.e. percentages or point break down for assignments), short assignment descriptions that link them to learning outcomes, and tentative schedule for the our weeks of January Term (including readings, topics, assignments, eld trips, and any other pertinent information for your particular course). We also appreciate seeing your typical boilerplate syllabus language so we know what you communicate to your students. ADD FILE
Please provide a break down of your course contact (2625) and non-contact (5250) minutes. * In other words, how will you use the total amount of required time you have for this course? We want to see how you plan to use your time, not micromanage you. Please make sure your use of time is consistent with the January Term Classroom Contact Hours Policy, which states: The January Term Program maintains that the following types of class activity are acceptable uses of classroom contact minutes: docent-led tours, guest speaker sessions, programs/events held outside your regularly scheduled class meeting times, nature hikes – anything that is relevant to your students’ learning and that requires their attention and activity. Film labs are not considered contact minutes. Full-length lm screenings must be scheduled outside of regular class meeting times. Your answer January Term Learning Outcomes January Term has three program learning outcomes. If you haven't done so in the learning outcomes section of your syllabus, please describe here how your course addresses these learning outcomes. In January Term, Students will: 1) Learn to take whatever captivates their imagination and turn it into a subject of academic inquiry capable of being probed and examined analytically; 2) Be able to concentrate their full and sustained attention on one subject, developing ability to master topics quickly through focused intensity; 3) Develop competencies in applied learning, moving beyond what they know (previous learning) to what they can do with what they know (transfer) in innovative ways and novel situations. Your answer Course fee amount * ALL expenses for your Jan Term class will come from the course's Lab Fee. This fee must cover all photocopying, guest speaker fees, entrance fees and ticketing for events, classroom supplies, etc. Unless another amount is proposed, all courses will be given a default of $10 to cover photocopying.

course?
Your answer
Class size *
The standard JanTerm class size is 25 students. If you are requesting fewer than 25, please explain
the basis for this request.
Your answer
How many (if any) spaces will be held for rst year students?
Lower division courses should generally hold at least 10 seats
for rst years (please remember not to include prerequisites that
would disqualify rst years, such as English 5, or Seminar 1). *
Your answerAre you planning to apply to the Core Curriculum Committee for
any of the following designations? Please select all that apply. *
