4 DESCRIBE THE REQUESTED COURSE/PROGRAM ACTION (additional pages may be attached if necessary): The proposed revision to the course description is intended to allow for greater flexibility with regard to the instruction of the material. In the current catalog, the current course description describes the course as "an examination of intra personal and interpersonal dynamics at work within one's relationship with oneself as well as within relationships between the self and others. Application of course concepts facilitates students' own personal discovery processes, and techniques for increasing overall life satisfaction via interpersonal problem-solving are presented." We would like the course description to be revised accordingly, "Provides an overview of the processes involved in the development, maintenance and dissolution of friendships and romantic relationships. Offers an examination of topics such as interpersonal attraction, love, sexuality, conflict and communication." SET FORTH THE RATIONALE FOR THIS PROPOSAL: As the course description is currently written, there are few faculty members in the division who feel qualified to teach all of the course objectives. The change is designed to allow for course objectives to be interpreted more broadly so that psychologists from different specializations may approach the material differently, but may still achieve the course objectives.
