III. Flag Proposal Deadline
Flags to be effective Summer 2015 or Fall 2015: December 16, 2014
Lack of sufficient QR flags on courses intended for majors outside of Natural Sciences:
Current QR-flagged courses for non-science majors include:
CH 304K
M 302, 303D, 408K, 316, 316L
PS 303, 304
PHY 302K, 302L
SDS 302, 328M
Suggest we consider adding QR flags to other courses on the Natural Science & Technology Part I and II lists. Candidates include:
AST 301, 309G, 309L, 309N, 309R, 309S (AST 307 has QR flag already)
BIO 301D, 301E, 301L, 301M, 305E, 305F, 307D, 309D, 309F
CH 305
CS 302
MNS 307, 308
NSC 306J, 306K, 306L, 306M
NTR 306
Flag proposals do not go through C&C committee. They are proposed online by faculty.
