Hey Blogies,
I’d like to respond to these;
- insufficient audio courses: esp. 200 level
- same with video …… we think
The same applies to electronics/mechanical in the 200 levels.. If I’ve got this right there is only one Electronics Intro course (which was over enrolled)... which of course means that the second term course will have a drop in numbers, third year will have a drop in numbers, etc. One Intro course cannot maintain a stream of study.
What are the number of Level 200 Intro courses in each medium anyway? I think that should give us some indication of what is needed rather than all of us saying we need more Intro courses.
How should we think about required courses?
- Should we think from second year on up to 4th year/Masters?
- or from what kind of graduates we want in 4th year/Masters down to second year courses?. If we want to graduate students by medium... I think we are in trouble.
Yours Doug

This brings up three major concerns:
1) Do we try to cover too much territory in one small department? (Yes)
2) Should we try to graduate students by medium? (No)
3) Is the role of a graduate program to extend the undergrad curriculum? (No)
(Many grad programs will NOT allow students from the same school in to avoid this curriculum creep...)
