Hi,
As we were discussing the 10 Suggestions we had for Professors, someone
brought up a really good point about how some classes (specifically Course 6
classes) have artificially low credit numbers in order to remain part of a
Major Requirement. I thought this was a pretty good point and may be
something SCEP would be interested in/able to address.
When I was speaking with some of my constituents last weekend, they made a
similar comment about how they felt Unified warranted more credits than it
was worth. While this may not necessarily be a class that needs its credits
changed, making sure credits match the hours spent in a class is something
SCEP/Senate should consider pursuing.
Best,
Ben Shaibu
