Classes tantalize students
■ New options include
feminism in religion,
educational assessment and
gospel music
By Brooke Ross
Oregon Daily Emerald
Tired of the same old course re
quirements? This fall, University
students have a wide variety of
choices, thanks to the offering of
some new classes.
In addition to the University’s
standard curriculum, students can
choose from some new options, in
cluding courses ranging from “Intro
to Accounting” to electives such as
“Tango Dancing.”
Several professors are offering
upper-level classes this term that
have not been taught recently. Irene
Diamond, professor in the political
science department, falls into this
category. Political Science 410/510
“Jews/Gender/Natural World” will
teach students the principles of
feminist thought in Judeo-Christian
traditions. The class of about 34
students will focus on eco-femi
nism imagery and ideas of creation
based on Judaic principles. There
are a few spots still available in this
course.
For students with musical tastes,
the University’s School of Music
has a special class in store for Fall
2000.
Cedric Weary, adjunct instructor
in the school, has created a new
music ensemble of roughly 20 stu
dents. Music 697, “Topic: Gospel
Singers,” is a traveling gospel choir
that will spend the quarter rehears
ing for and attending various talent
competitions. Students will focus
primarily on gospel, hip hop, and R
& B music.
Weary described the chosen
pieces as “really contemporary.”
The former music major took it
upon himself to see that this class
was offered in order to accommo
date advanced students.
By petitioning his idea to the
dean of the School of Music this
spring. Weary was able to make his
new project a reality. Weary said
the class will be small, so he can
make sure students get the attention
they need to excel.
“I decided to start a smaller

group to give them a chance to ex
plore and be the best they can be,”
Weary said. “A traveling gospel en
semble is not feasible with 50 or 60
students.”
Weary worked with the School of
Music, and together they made
room for the new group to meet and
rehearse.
Interested students should con
tact Weary for an audition.
The College of Education is also
introducing a new program this fall,
offered through the Area of Educa
tion Leadership.
Learning Assessment/System
Performance is composed of five
classes, designed to observe the
trends and results of tests offered in
today’s school systems. Education
610, “Current Issues in Measure
ment and Assessment,” is one of
the new classes within the pro
gram, which tracks student testing
patterns.
Gerald Tindal, the area head of
Educational Leadership, is excited
for the new program to begin and
hopes to increase the number of
available courses to 10 by next year.
“We wanted to go live with it this
year,” Tindal said. “We currently
have about 15 to 20 students en
rolled with master’s degrees.”
The Learning Assessment/Sys
tem Performance program is cur
rently open to upper-division stu
dents.
