A. Rationale/Justification for Proposed Action:
Shifting disciplinary emphasis in Performance Studies has lead to an increased number of courses addressing the
performance of non-literary/non-traditional texts (personal narratives, etc.). To maintain existing programmatic
emphasis on the presentation of non-dramatic literary texts, the Interpretation & Performance Studies area has chosen
to combine content from the previously distinct courses of CTAO 311 Interpretation of Prose and CTAO 412 Oral
Interpretation of Poetry into a single course. The combined option, Performing Prose & Poetry, has thrice been
offered as a Special Topics course.
This course deletion request, for CTAO 311, is accompanied by a course revision proposal for CTAO 412.
