KU Core: Important Notes
• Some courses may count for multiple learner
outcomes
– HOWEVER, you can only count a Core course once
– You pick where you want the course to count
– E.g., LING 106 meets Goal 1 (Outcome 1) and Goal
4 (Outcome 2)
• You can only count it in one place
• YOU choose EITHER Goal 1 or Goal 4
• Your DPR will make an initial placement for you based
on where it “thinks” you need to use it.
KU Core: Important Notes
• Major and Minor requirements can meet KU
Core requirements
– E.g., SPLH 261 and SPLH 566 meet Goal 3 Social
and Behavioral Sciences
– SPLH 497, SPLH 498 and SPLH 660 meet Goal 6
– You do NOT have to choose here
– The course can count for KU Core and for your
Major/Minor requirements
KU Core Important Notes
• New courses are being added to KU Core
• Courses that you have taken that don’t
currently count, COULD count in the future
• re-check http://kucore.ku.edu/courses
regularly (e.g., end of this semester, middle of
next semester) to see if any of your completed
courses fulfill Core requirements
SPLH ADVISING REMINDERS
SPLH Advising Reminders
• If you haven’t done so already, you need to create
a plan of study and have it approved by your
advisor
– See http://splh.ku.edu/advising
SPLH Advising Reminders
• Freshman/Sophomore SPLH courses
– SPLH 120 Physics of Speech
• (Prereq: Math 101/104)
– SPLH 320 Intro to Neuroscience
– Class size for 120 and 320 have been increased
– SPLH 320 has been increased to 3 credits
– If you haven’t taken 120 & 320, you should
complete these asap
SPLH Advising Reminders
• Plan to take SPLH 663 Hearing Science in
Spring 2016 (or 2015 if you’re a sophomore
and have completed 120 and 320)
– SPLH 120 and 320 are prerequisite to 663
• Again, make sure you take these in Sophomore year (if
not before)
– SPLH 663 is a prerequisite to SPLH 668
– SPLH 663 is ONLY offered in the SPRING
– So, taking SPLH 663 in Spring of your SOPHOMORE
year will give you flexibility in future planning
Succeeding Academically
• Keep track of your grades in your courses
– Check your DPR for current GPAs (overall and in major)
– See your instructor if you need help calculating your
current grade
– See your instructor EARLY for ideas on how to improve
your performance
– Office hours are for YOU. Go see your instructor.
– Keep your advisor informed of any challenges you are
facing
• See http://advising.ku.edu/students/current/resources.shtml#academic
for additional KU resources
