Class Level Definitions

Preamble: We recognize that departments make distinctions among 100-, 200-, and 300-level classes more often on the basis of internal departmental course relationships than on the relative nature of these courses at an all-college level. The College has no set of specific guidelines to describe the relationships among these course levels. To address this problem and to guide the Curriculum Committee in assessing the appropriate level for classes, these guidelines are an attempt to provide a framework for instructors when designing classes and to lend consistency to the process.

      1. to write, to read, and to think analytically and/or quantitatively.
      2. to explain, to interpret, and to solve problems.
  5. Process
