Keith,
We are planning to advise students to take CISC106 in spring. If at that point
they have not completed MATH241, they should postpone taking CISC106
because they will also not be ready for the courses that are supposed to use
the CISC material.
We would certainly support raising the prerequisites for CISC106. As far as we
are concerned MATH241 could even be a prerequisite.

Hi Norbert,
Will the the
"typical" student take 106 in the Spring? It is likely we will try to
raise the Math co-requisite to Math 241 next year (up from MATH 115/117
pre-calc) to allow for more
mathematical/engineering examples.
Handling an extra 10
students will be no problem for CISC.
[I will also try to
remember to add you to our ad hoc 106 advisory committee. Copies of assignments
from the next course your students take that uses programming will be helpful
for us.]

Keith,
revisions to our
undergraduate programs have made it to the appropriate faculty senate
committee. One of the changes is that we have added CISC106 as required course
for all our undergraduate degrees, rather than leave it as an option. I believe
we talked about this before. Since this will at most produce an additional ten
students per year, if that, I simply
stated that this would have negligible impact on the enrollment in
CISC106. The committee would like to see
that statement confirmed by appropriate authority. Might that be you?
A brief email message
will suffice.

Norbert:
As an "appropriate authority", I certainly concur that, with a base
CHEM-103 enrollment of ca. 1000 students every fall, an extra 5-10 students
will, indeed, have a negligible impact on our teaching resources.
