Re: Course revisions

Hi Everyone,

Part of my answer is to say that I conduct the vast majority of my changes to a section to the current section without cancelling/recreating. This cuts a lot of the workload and keeps CRN consistency throughout the semester.

If however, there are changes made at the Catalog level, we will cancel the section and recreate it as many changes will not automatically update with the new information and this will give a clean offering.

Lastly, I am a huge stickler on title changes. Since they are not editorial, I am cracking down considerably on title discrepancies on this campus.

 

I hope this is helpful.

Subject: Course revisions

 

Hi everyone,

 

I'm looking for insight in how other institutions handle minor course revisions. For example, when a course title or description is changed without any revisions to the content of the course, is it common practise to always generate a new course number or are changes made reusing the old course number?

 

We are working on clarifying our policy while being mindful of the limitations within our existing course numbering system.

 

Any thoughts are much appreciated.

 

Best,
