The University of Tennessee-Martin

Subject:

Description:

Topics of mutual interest to students and faculty designed to provide a quick response to interests and needs of students and faculty. Proposed courses should be submitted to either the Division of Academic Affairs or the Division of Student Affairs for approval and scheduling. The following requirements are suggested for establishment of minicourses. 1. At least one faculty member must endorse each course proposal submitted by students. Endorsement implies that one will teach the course or arrange for one's colleagues to teach it as visiting professors. Faculty may also propose courses. 2. The grading system would be Pass/Fail or letter grade by departmental request. 3. Students are required to meet the academic standards established by the teacher at the onset of the course. These may include a syllabus of readings, an examination, an essay or term paper, research project, field project, or creative work. Discussion and informality, however, will be stressed and every effort made to avoid the pressures associated with the regular curriculum. 4. Students taking 12 hours or more are eligible to enroll. No more than three such courses may be taken by undergraduates. Courses will count as electives.
