Chemistry 101 requires a laboratory, however such courses as anthropology, geography, astronomy, environmental science, nutrition and geology do not require a lab and meet the general education requirements. It was suggested that the laboratories at Galena High School might be considered in offering courses that require a full lab. Laboratory Science is essential and all three institutions need laboratories for their course offerings. Bill Cathey requested the committee members to consider how fees would be assessed at the Redfield Campus. The fee structure must not discourage students at Redfield from associating with their chosen educational institution.
Considerable work remains on the issue of course fees.
It was suggested that the Curriculum Committee meet with other committees, including distance education, to form a recommendation. Various instructional styles were considered as features of the Redfield programs, such as computer based instruction, summer session courses, small class size, evening studies, weekend college, non-traditional scheduling, distance education to include Redfield Campus as a receiving site. The committee agreed to meet at TMCC for its next meeting in February.
