The writing committee will address this idea. The question was raised again of who will revise the Perspectives descriptions. Communication and information skills need to be emphasized more. Gary provided a summary of his notes about revisions to the administrative component. This has not been discussed yet.
Writing is clearly the top skill in the program.
No courses will be required to deliver all of the skills, but many courses must do writing. We have a clear rationale for elevating writing as the primary skill. However, having a writing across the curriculum coordinator encumbers the program, and this idea will be eliminated. We need to clarify the role that writing will play in the upper level courses and in the contract courses. We need to clarify what makes a course appropriate for an upper level perspectives course.
