Teaching Courses with Similar Content

This information is necessary to determine if you are creating a new course or reactivating a previously existing course to maintain history and repeatability of a course.

Ask this question: Have you taught a course with similar content in the past?

Yes - The department has a course they've used in their history, which content is similar to their new course content. If a returning student took the old course from your department and is no longer offered, would you recommend this new course to replace the previous grade? (e.g. FILM 3770 "Film: 1950s and 1960s"  is inactive but FILM is adding a new course FILM 3230 "Historical Trends" which content is similar enough that a student can take the FILM 3230 course and replace the FILM 3770 grade.) This would be a permanent change for all students who were to take the course. If you don't want all students to be able to use this course for replacing a previous grade then you should fill out the add course form instead of the reactivation form.

No - The content of this course is new to the department. There is no course that the department is aware of that, if a student took the new course, would replace an old course's grade.

Unknown - The department is uncertain if any inactive course's content matches or is similar to the new course content.
