Course Prefix & Number Descriptive Title Credits/Hours
ASL 301 D ASL 7 4 - 4




Abbreviation for Class Schedule(20 spaces)
ASL VII

Current Course Description:
ASL 301 American Sign Language VII (4) Course provides students with opportunities to expand expressive and receptive use of ASL, including a variety of special topics at an advanced level. Special emphasis will be placed on increasing spatial use, ASL fluency and nonmanual behaviors.

New Course Description:
ASL 301 American Sign Language VII (4) Seventh in a related series of courses that focus on the use and study of ASL. This course includes intermediate ASL vocabulary, grammatical structures and conversational behaviors. Special emphasis on developing more awareness of the cultural values and beliefs shared by the Deaf Community. Prerequite: ASL 203 D with a grade C- or better.

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.):
This is seventh in a sequence of courses where each course sets the foundation for the class that follows. Though the idea that successful completion of the previous course in the series would be prerequisite to the next course in the series. We are requesting that prerequisites be explicitly stated in the catalog to keep students from registering for classes that they are unprepared to take.
Students/Program affected:
The students who would be affected by this change are those who are taking ASL to fulfill the second language requirement at WOU, students who are preparing to enter the ASL minor, ASL Studies major,and ASL/English Interpreting major, as well as students who are taking ASL language courses for any other reason.
