Announcements

 

  • The Math 25 group recommended packaging two-ish extra lab hours with Math 25 for adjuncts who have done the Math 25 lesson study, to bring the Math 25 packages closer to 60%.
  • Other future scheduling changes? Priority in choosing classes for faculty who have participated in course-specific staff development.
  • The nursing dept apparently does not want math to continue to offer Math 18
