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)​​
