Discussion item
|
A 7 year
expiration on courses in the curriculum has been suggested as a way to
get each course to address the liberal learning goals and to keep each
course over time connected to the curriculum goals. We will want to
conduct a costs/benefits analysis and consider a way to phase in such an
undertaking should we desire to take this on. |
