As we prepare to implement the Exploration Level for the revitalized University Core Curriculum, the Undergraduate Core Curriculum Committee is now soliciting proposals for potential Exploration Level courses to start in the 2022-2023 academic year. A brief one-page summary of the Exploration Level and proposal process is available at this link, and more extensive information (along with a link to the online proposal submission site) is available at the pilots.up.edu site for the Core.
Also feel free to join one of the information sessions offered during September for faculty considering contributing a course to the Exploration Level. Note that the same basic content will be covered at each session, and if time allows the hope is to spend part of the hour workshopping ideas for Exploration Level courses. For courses starting Fall 2022, we hope to review proposals in October in order to allow for departmental scheduling in November. The information sessions will be:
- Tuesday, September 14th from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. in person in DB 236
- Friday, September 24th from 3:00-4:00 p.m. in person in DB 236
- Tuesday, September 28th from 2:30-3:30 p.m. via Zoom: https://uportland.zoom.us/j/93683445095
Also feel free to direct any questions to Andrew Guest in his role as Core Director at guesta@up.edu.
