Instructions: Items 16-20

List all sources of information that are required for the course. Suggested or optional sources are not required. If there are no sources or resource material, please indicate this.

Sources of information might be textbooks, journal articles, films, lab manuals, newspapers, computer software, Internet sources, etc. Enter the titles, authors, and publication dates of books and the full names of periodicals and other resources. If you are using materials that are not current, explain why you’re using them in case concerns are raised during the review process.

Examples

1. “Financial Accounting: A User Perspective” by Robert E. Hoskins, 2016. Assigned readings will be drawn from such sources as “Business Week” and “The Wall Street Journal.”
2. Assigned readings will be tailored to individual students’ research projects. They will involve current articles from the “Journal of Speech and Hearing Research” and other relevant periodicals.
3. Selected current readings from the following journals: “Nursing Economics,” “Nursing Research,” “Research in Nursing and Health,” “Journal of Nursing Administration,” “Health Care Financing Review,” “Health Services Research,” and “Western Journal of Nursing Research.”

The next four fields cover prerequisites, recommended background, corequisites, and restrictions. Units should consider these four types of critieria comprehensively and enter on the course request the requirements/preparation that students will need to progress smoothly through their academic programs.

Prerequisites should reflect a need for prior academic preparation. Usually a prerequisite is a course (e.g., BIOS 101) that may be taken prior to or concurrently with this course. However, a prerequisite may also be another type of preparation, such as a designated score on the mathematics placement test. For courses, enter the required prerequisite by course subject and course number. You may also enter minimum grades required in prior coursework, minimum class standing level, class restrictions, required consents or approvals,  placement test performance, and other criteria.

Examples

1. A student needs credit in GEOG 100 to enroll in GEOG 200.
2. A student needs credit in PSCH 343 and credit or concurrent registration in PSCH 320 or consent of the instructor to enroll in PSCH 321.
3. A student needs credit in MATH 070 and credit or concurrent registration in MATH 090 or appropriate score on the department placement test to enroll in MATH 144.
4. A student needs credit in FR 301, junior standing, approval of the department, and any two courses from among FR 202, FR 231, and FR 232 to enroll in FR 375.
5. A student needs credit with a grade of C or better in both MCS 261 and MCS 275, or in only EECS 370, to enroll in EECS 476. In all cases, students must be seniors or above.
6. Students must be in good academic standing in a teacher education program, have completed 100 clock hours of pre-student teacher field experiences, and have obtained approval from the college or department of concentration.

Recommended background may be prior academic coursework, experience, or other qualifications that are recommended, but not required. These recommendations should not be essential for students to succeed in the course.

Examples

1. CHEM 102
2. Two history courses at the 300 or 400 level
3. Three years of teaching experience
4. Travel or study in France

A corequisite is a course that must be taken concurrently with this course. A corerequisite should be related directly to the content of this course. Often a corequisite is a laboratory course that must be taken at the same time as the related lecture course.

Examples

1. Concurrent registration in CHEM 102 is required.
2. Concurrent registration in PHAR 332 and PHAR 333 is required or the student must obtain the consent of the instructor.
3. This course must be taken concurrently with the first or second 200-level Latin American Studies course taken after declaration of the major.

A restriction denotes a limitation on student access to a course. When restrictions are placed on course records, only students enrolled in the particular college(s) or program(s) coded on the course request may register. Other students will need special college or department approval to register.

Examples

1. Open only to undergraduate students in the College of Business Administration
2. Open only to students in the B.S. Health Information Management program
3. Open only to undergraduate Engineering students who are also in the Honors College
