I am hopeful that some members of this list may be able to answer
some questions that I have about offering a class, combined
beg/inter algebra, two semesters long. Each semester would cover
fewer topics and there would be little overlap, using a single text
book. We are discussing this posibility in our department.
Here are some of my questions.

What prompted you to offer such a course?

What level of support did you have in your department?

Did you begin this type of course offering as a pilot or was it
offered for all classes?

How did you place your students?

Have you done any tracking of your students in college algebra?

Did you encounter any problems?

What text did you use?

I f you could any of these questions or provide any other
informationI would be very grateful.
