Schuman suggested that the way to handle that problem is to look at what happened to the quarter courses that were designated as C2 and W or we could say that students graduating under quarters who have not met these requirements by fall of 1999 do not have to meet them. We could ask disciplines to designate C2 and W courses under semesters, but that would be an irritating exercise. Lee asked if C2 and W courses were not being designated under semesters. Ballou noted that the present APAS reports talk about the C2 requirement. Thielke said the APAS report will designate requirements as specified by the Curriculum Committee.
Most English courses tend to be taught as writing courses.
She would be comfortable with Schuman's suggestion of waiving the requirement for students using the quarter GER but graduating after the start of semesters. Ballou wondered how soon the computing office would need to know the requirements in order to write the APAS program. Thielke said her office does the APAS reports and would need some lead time. It would be easy to write in a discontinuation of the requirement, however. Schuman said we could send a reminder to disciplines but not ask for anything back.
