Foundational Abilities Survey
In alignment with my promise of accountability, the FA survey results are released here. I am currently in the process of advocating for FA reform.
I have secured admin commitment to retroactively apply FA tags to some courses, reducing credit burden for current students.
If you know any courses that have not been labeled with FAs yet or are underlabeled, please send them to me. I am compiling a list to send to dean Rowe. the list currently includes courses of the CLE minors and business minors as well as biochemistry project lab.
If you have a 4 year plan that shows you cannot complete your degree in 4 years or that not getting into a single class will result in you not being able to complete your degree in 4 years, please send it to me (Dean Rowe insists that common double majors are possible without AP credits under FA system)
