> AMATYC POSITION SENTENCE
>
> Successful completion of a college mathematics course, which
> has intermediate algebra as a prerequisite, should be a
> requirement for an Associate of Arts degree. (For further
> details and discussions see web page at...)
>
> This short "position paper" from AMATYC would be
> helpful for deliberations on our campus and, from the
> discussions concerning the math requirements for AA degree,
> believe it could have a positive impact on other math
> departments.
>
> Am also interested in testing how new procedures, such
> as this listserv and other internet capabilities, might be
> used to create consensus and adopt a position such as this.
>
> Believe that it is possible to shorten the time span,
> and the necessity for face-to-face discussion, and still
> retain, if not improve, the quality of position papers by
> the "appropriate" :-) use of technology.
>
> Is this worth pursuing?
