 2. Current details: 3. Proposed details: 4. Rationale: Explain rationale for change. 5. Academic Implications/ Approval by Appropriate Councils: Discuss impact on other academic programs or areas, if any.  List date of approval by appropriate council (if applicable) 6. Financial Implications: Discuss personnel, facility, and budgetary implications of change, if any.
I. Course Description Change

GE 102 - Physical Geology (4)
Introduction to geology, with emphasis on geological materials and processes. Includes a brief introduction to pedology and historical geology. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week.

GE 102 - Physical Geology (4)
Introduction to geology, with emphasis on earth materials and modern processes, including geologic hazards.  Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week.

 The changed course description reflects the course development proposed by Dr. Rindsberg, in which Physical Geology is to be the first of several courses in a revived Geology minor. Material on historical geology will be presented in the second course (BY 392/GE 103) and emphasis will instead be placed on modern geologic processes, some of which can be witnessed at first hand during field trips. None

Course development will require a financial outlay for library books, DVDs, some laboratory supplies, and use of vehicles for field trips.

II. Course Name, Description, Prerequisite Change

BY 392 - Historical Geology
“Methods of discovering the earth’s history, including introduction to fossils and stratigraphy. Physical and biological history of the earth with emphasis on the North American continent.”  Prerequisite: twelve hours of biology. Recommended GE 102 or ES 100 as prerequisites or corequisites.

BY 392 - History of Life on Earth (4).
A survey of life and geologic settings through time, including methods, principles of evolution and stratigraphy, practical experience with collecting and analyzing fossils, and cultural implications.  Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week.  Prerequisite: eight hours of biology and GE 102, or permission of instructor.

 The name change is expected to appeal to biology majors. The course description is changed to reflect the substantial course development and changes planned by Dr. Rindsberg. Allowing GE 102 as a prerequisite in lieu of biology courses simply brings the prerequisites into line with what is normally done at other schools, where Historical Geology follows Physical Geology as the second course in the Geology curriculum. Provides another upper level elective for Biology majors. Course development will require a financial outlay for library books, DVDs, some laboratory supplies, and use of vehicles for field trips.
III, New Course

Currently, Historical Geology is offered only as BY 392.
BY 392 - Historical Geology (4)
Methods of discovering the earth’s history, including introduction to fossils and stratigraphy. Physical and biological history of the earth with emphasis on the North American continent. Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: twelve hours of biology. Recommended GE 102 or ES 100 as prerequisites or corequisites.

GE 392 - History of Life on Earth (4).
A survey of life and geologic settings through time, including methods, principles of evolution and stratigraphy, practical experience with collecting and analyzing fossils, and cultural implications.  Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week. Prerequisite: eight hours of biology and GE 102, or permission of instructor.

This is a cross listing of BY 392.  Cross-listing is appropriate given that the course is heavy in both biological and geological content.  In fact, Historical Geology was cross-listed between BY and GE when it was previously in the catalogue. In addition, cross-listing will allow us  to reach Environmental Science majors as well as Biology majors.

Recent changes in staffing may allow us to consider bringing back a minor in Geology.

Course development will require a financial outlay for library books, DVDs, some laboratory supplies, and use of vehicles for field trips.
IV. New Course Currently, Marine Geology is not listed in the UWA catalogue.

GE 302 - Marine Geology (4)
A study of the geology of the ocean basins, with special emphasis on the continental shelves. Prerequisite: GE 102, MH 246 recommended.  (Offered only at the Marine Laboratory, Dauphin Island).

 This course is offered each summer at DISL and may be an attractive elective for students in Science Education or Environmental Sciences. Recent changes in staffing may allow us to consider bringing back a minor in Geology. None

V. Course Name & Description Change

BY 420 - Animal Taxonomy and Field Techniques (4).
Methods for the collection and identification of vertebrate animals in natural environments, including animal identification, taxonomy, systematics, collection, preservation, and ecological interactions.  Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week.  Prerequisite BY 222.

BY 420 - Field Zoology (4)
A detailed study of the fauna of western Alabama, including collection, identification, taxonomy, systematics, preservation, and ecological interactions.  Three lecture and three laboratory hours per week.  Prerequisite BY 222.
