Letters and Science Curriculum Committee

These are some of the issues which were discussed on the October 26, 2009 meeting in South Hall 101.

• Aiming for consistency between Elementary/Intermediate listings with course numbering (300 level elementary course) in Hebrew/Semitic Studies. Course approved, letter advising department to use numbers to distinguish levels of courses sent.
• Ensuring prerequisite of QR-A is enforced prior to students taking QR-B – class violating this currently in School of Human Ecology
• Course Overlaps cntd –
o Sending inquisitor memo to departments inviting discussion regarding course overlaps, providing initial questions so far as what the issue is and what can be done to resolve it
o What happens to the exceptions to the rule?
o Multiple overlapping introductory sequences raise many questions.
o Departmental or college level problem? What happens when Math must determine which Physics courses do/do not count?
