General Education Goal(s) for which course is designed: ___3__________
Please attach the following :
(1) a completed General Education Course Planning Matrix.

(9) required General Education Course Criteria (page XX) AND each of the student outcomes specified for this goal (page XX).
II. Required for a Major, Minor, Concentration (please specify): Required for Major.
III. Rationale for Course: Currently the course is taught regularly as an introductory level course for students interested in literature in German. As a survey of German literature, the course already meets all the outcomes for Goal 3 of the new General Education Guidelines. Many works studied during this course are considered important landmarks in world literature. We therefore believe the class should be included as one that would fulfill Goal 3 for those students interested in this tradition.
