kissler s.dd
flit! ( lass loads presently mt
ricd bv most University stu
dents Impede their ability to
develop such skills, he said In
a quarter system, students tak
ing five '-classes a term are not
given adequate lime to study
their subjects m depth
It is through in-depth study
that students develop those
general intellectual skills they
.sill need in the workplace." he
said
In addition to heavy course
loads, many students have jobs,
which plat i s additional time
restraint* on their studies Stu
dents end up fragmenting their
study time too much 'They ec
tlier give all their i lasses scant
attention, or they give a lew
classes a tot of attention at the
expense of their-other courses
"hither way.” Kissler said,
students end up unable to de
vote adequate time to their
studies, which means they're
getting a superficial education
in their suhjo ts
Over tiie course of last sum
met, Kissler met with an ad hoi
committee to discuss these is
sues The- committee primarily
discussed ways the University
could reduce the average mini
her of classes students take
each term hum an average of
lour or five to an average of
three or four
With this in mind, the tom
milieu discussed a proposal to
t hange the average ( lass from a
three credit hour course to a
four credit hour course Stu
dents would then take three to
tour course a term for a total of
1to !(> ( redits
The problem with the cur
rent system is we re running a
semester formal in a quarter
system.' said I tank Anderson,
committee chairman and head
nf the math department
Anderson said the number of
i ours,s students a! semester
schools complete in (ini! scmw
icr Universitystudents finish in
!0 weeks. so, University slu
Bents take .in average of five
i.isM-s mom .1 year than most
students In the country
The key to the committee's
proposal ts adopting what An
dorsum falls "quarter semester
redtls The University would
still operate under a quarter
systom, hut a year's coursework
would involve 10 to 12 classes,
the equivalent to a semester
school 's load
II this system were adopted.
Anderson said, the quality and
depth of education would like
ly improve
"Poor-quality work is a re
flection of a poor educational
experience ' he said "Students
have too much difficulty find
ing time to do quality work
As part of the proposal to
i hango from three to four-cred
it courses, the committee also
proposed changes in the way
( luster and stand alone nspiire
merits vvoutd he fulfilled
Instead of being required to
take groups of three courses,
students would fulfill tholr gen
eral education requirements by
taking eight credits in approved
classes, which i ould mean iak
ing only two classes
|ai k Bennett, a counselor in
the Office of Academic Advis
ing who sat in on many of the
committee's discussions, savs
the proposed changes could un
dermine the intent of the clus
ter system
For example, to complete a
history duster now, a student
might take a year of History of
Western Civilization, which en
compasses ancient history
through the modern era li the
proposed changes are adopted,
however, a student will only
have to take two of the three
courses
'It seems that students
would lose some breadth in
their general education.” Ben
nett said
The only way departments
could guarantee that curricu
lum wouldn't be lust, Bennett
said, would be bv redesigning
their courses to make the pres
ent year-long curriculum fit
into two terms
However, such .1 change
would be antithetical to the in
tent of the proposal, he said,
because three terms of classes
crammed into two would
amount to an even more super
ficial education
I believe clusters and stand
atones have greatly improved
the University's general educa
tion program Students are ex
posed to a wide variety of aca
demic disciplines, which in
creases tile breadth of their ed
ucation," Bennett said
Bennett said this exposure
also narrows the cotnmunica
tion gaps often found between
people from different academic
disciplines.
" The cluster and stand alone:
system has helped demystify
the peculiarities of each disci
pline's language for those who
would not have- come into con
tact with those disciplines,
without the general-education
requirements we have tesla'.,
he said
Bennett said the proposal
also suggests eliminating the:
rule dic tating that students cun
not take a c luster in their ma
jor. which would mean that
students would lose exposure
to areas of study outside of
their discipline.
We'll he hear log a lot more
about these proposed c hungers
m the months to come,” Ben
nett said "There's a lot of is
sues involved m these propos
als. ranging horn preparing stu
dents for the future to the na
lure of our undergraduate cur
riculum at the lJniversity.
"'nurse- aren't unrelated is
sues Hopefully full discussion
of these issues will unravel
some of the complexity and
bring some clarity to what are
some very important questions
facing tin- campus communi
ty."
