Enrollment in history and LAC.
Category of Issue: Enrollment
Issue name: Enrollment in history and LAC.
Issue resolution status: Completed
Due date: Already in place.
Issue description:
Classes in History were confused with LAC classes, so students looking for Non-Western Civ-Africa were enrolled in upper division Modern African History. Organization and explanations on system inadequate for students to make choices or find appropriate classes.
Planned solution:
Students seeking courses that meet LAC requirements can search by that criterion. Students seeking courses that meet their specific degree requirements can search by that criterion. We believe that this is about effective use of the tools of the system, rather than an inherent issue with how the system works. We will include this in training/communication efforts.
In addition the subject descriptions were changed to provide for better sorting of the history subjects:
Europe Since ca. 1700
Europe to ca. 1700
Historical Study/Thematic/Grad
Non-Western History
United States History
to:
History - Europe since ca. 1700
History - Europe to ca. 1700
History - Thematic/Grad
History - Non-Western
History - United States
