Pandell agreed that no course will meet all six goals. Depending on who looks at the course you could get variant responses as to course suitability. Gackowski replied that the subject matter has been completely diluted here in the 6 goals. I am concerned we are losing the content of the course.

Farrar agreed, noting that one of the worst problems we have to deal with concerning GE is redundancy. Crawford replied that the task force differed on that issue.
