The second proposal would extend the deadline for fulfilling the language requirement from the end of freshman year to the end of sophomore year, in order to address complaints of over-crowded freshmen year schedules, according to Greene.
Under the proposal, the required courses English 10a and 10b—as well as the pre-1800 literature, American literature, and sophomore seminar requirements—would die.
If the Educational Policy Committee gives the proposal the green light in February, it is likely to be implemented as early as next year.
Students like McConnell, however, might find themselves disappointed with the conclusion of the proposal, which emphasized that the new courses are “not gateway courses, but plums offered to those students who have already decided to become English concentrators.”
The proposal was written by a six-person task force chaired by Stephen L. Burt and Daniel Albright. Three of the six currently teach or have previously taught English 10a or 10b.
