Submitting Eloquentia Perfecta: Creative Expression Course Proposals

Instructors can best assure the accomplishment of the relevant level of achievement in each SLO by designing their syllabi, readings, and assignments in light of the Core-component learning outcomes.

A course description, course-level learning outcomes, and essential criteria for all Eloquentia Perfecta: Creative Expression courses are shown on p. 22 of the Core document. When submitting proposals, faculty are required to explain how their proposed course meets the relevant Student Learning Outcomes, course-level or component learning outcomes, and essential criteria.

Course proposals (proposed syllabi plus submission worksheets) must be submitted through CourseLeaf to the UUCC Eloquentia Perfecta Subcommittee (chaired by the Associate Director(s) in this area).  Faculty are required to explain how their proposed course meets the relevant Student Learning Outcomes, course-level learning outcomes, and essential criteria.

Submitters should submit: 

(1) the Core Course Submission Worksheet for the relevant area; 

(2) a sample syllabus that is preceded by a syllabus template. 

The template and syllabus will be submitted as one document in CIM Courses Courseleaf where submitters are asked to upload a syllabus. The template should provide parameters of the course such that any instructor (faculty member, adjunct instructor, graduate student) who is asked to teach the course will understand the elements that must be present in their course and the elements that are left to their discretion according to their personal interests and pedagogical style. 

NOTE: Respective departments are expected to keep these templates on file, circulate them to faculty regularly, and distribute them to any new hires.
