Type of Proposal
 Revised course 
 199 Experimental Course
 299 Experimental Course

Type of Course:
 Lower Division Collegiate (transfer)
 Professional/Technical (program requires)
 Professional/Technical (stand-alone)
 Developmental, numbered below 100

Rationale:
How does this proposal further the goals of the program or department? 
By changing the credits we bring the credits into alignment with our actual course contact and add the additional time needed for spectroscopic techniques. This also brings the course into better alignment with the equivalent course at UO and OSU.

What evidence supports this proposal? 
Review of our current course and comparison to credits given at both UO and OSU. Our lecture currently meets for 4.5 hours weekly and the lab meets for 4 hours with students coming in during other sections to run sample analysis. UO and OSU organic courses both have at least two credit hours of lab/recitation for their organic courses.

Section 3.  Curriculum Equity http://www.lanecc.edu/copps  
To promote an environment where all learners are encouraged to develop their full potential, this course will support Lane’s Curriculum Equity policy in the following way(s)

•	Making efforts to undo stereotyping in the learning environment.
•	Creating culturally appropriate assignments, resources, and feedback that promote learning for all students.
•	Using globally diverse reference materials and integrate references to the globally diverse practice of organic chemistry today.
•	Noting inappropriate biases in the practice of organic chemistry during the 19th and early 20th century and demonstrating through contemporary examples how much of this has changed.
•	Using engaging pedagogy that generally supports inclusion and success in the classroom and laboratory.
•	Creating an awareness of college life and work to provide inclusive support for non-traditional students.

Library Impact Statement
Under accreditation standards, Library consultation is essential for new programs, new courses and for substantively revised courses when the revisions entail any change in library use. 

What assignments will require the use of library and information resources? 
We use library resources for a journal research project currently. This assignment, and the use of library resources, will remain essentially the same with the changes in the course. 

Each academic area has a Liaison Librarian  http://www.lanecc.edu/library/services/liaison.htm to help faculty identify materials to be ordered to support the curriculum. Make an appointment with the designated librarian to discuss the library needs of your course at least a week ahead of the deadline for submission. 

To be completed by Liaison Librarian:
 Library resources are adequate to support this proposal.
 Additional resources are needed but can be obtained from current funds. 
 Significant additional Library funds/resources are required to support this proposal.
