Dornsife department chairs.\u00a0 All proposals should be reviewed first by the professional school dean or Dornsife department chair.\u00a0 If another person is delegated to submit courses proposals to the site, that person can be given access if a request is sent to Richard Fliegel at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:fliegel@usc.edu\">fliegel@usc.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div

considered for the course.\u00a0 Proposals for the Humanistic Inquiry category should be dropped as pdf files; proposals for other categories may be pdf or Word files.\u00a0 Proposals for the Social Analysis category must include the <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/ge\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2023\/10\/Social_Analysis_Cover_Sheet.Rev_2-20.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"

category for which the course is most appropriate by the intended learning outcomes identified for each requirement.\u00a0 Then decide if a course is to be a General Education Seminar or a departmental course offering.<\/p>\n<p>There are descriptions of each category available on the GE <a href=\"https:\/\/dornsife.usc.edu\/ge\/learningobjectives\/\">Learning Objectives<\/a> website.\u00a0 Courses can be proposed for one of the six Core Literacies and one of the two Global Perspectives requirements, by dropping the same proposal twice.\u00a0 That is the only possible redundancy.\u00a0 Courses at the 400-level can be proposed for either of the Global Perspectives requirements but not for the six Core Literacies.<\/p>\n<p>When you click on the \u201cSubmit Syllabus\u201d button, the form will ask the name of the faculty member who will be teaching the course, the category for which it is proposed, and the \u201cType.\u201d\u00a0 If it is to be a GE Seminar, the type is \u201cSeminar.\u201d\u00a0 If a departmental course has never been approved by the University Curriculum Committee (UCC), it is \u201cNew.\u201d\u00a0 If you are revising an existing course to meet the guidelines of the new program, please mark it \u201cRevised.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If you are proposing a GE Seminar, the Course Number will be GESM 110\/111, 120\/121, 130\/131, 140\/141, 150\/151, or 160\/161, depending on the requirement to be satisfied and which department or school is offering the course.\u00a0 The Course Title for a General Education Seminar should be the specific title of that particular section rather than the generic \u201cGE Seminar.\u201d\u00a0 A departmental course should include your course prefix (e.g., ENGL 261).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>What if I make a mistake, or want to change something after I drop it?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Not a big problem.\u00a0 Contact Richard Fliegel at\u00a0<a
