Most significantly, students will now be able to divide Social Analysis 10 with credit—meaning that signing up for the course doesn’t lock a student in for both semesters of the year-long course. And undergraduates with a social analysis Core requirement to fulfill will only need to take the first semester to do so, without having to file a petition first. “There have always been a very, very small...
