<< Is it okay to call a community course in intermediate algebra
College Algebra, and giving some kind of credit for the course? Or does
answering in the affirmative dilute our standards? >
What? Is this some kind of straw man question?
Answer: of course it's all right. Why, at my college, we have *pottery*
classes we call College Algebra, (College Algebra for Liberal Arts) and give
transferable credit for, and we haven't had a lick of trouble from the state
(CA, of course). our sports majors really appreciate this, too.
Of course, if anyone even remotely connected with accreditation reads this, i
should point out that of course i am just being silly --ha!ha! -- and that
College of the Desert in no way would ever consider just renaming a course
without checking to see if the course content matched. No!
