Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

 

APC Document  26:                              Prerequisite Changes to PHYS 221 and PHYS 222

                                                                                                                                                                       

Effective Date: Fall 2007

 

 

1.  Delete:         On pg. 213, in the course description for PHYS 221:

 

                        Prerequisite: MATH 191; corequisite: MATH 192. Fall and Spring.

 

 

    Add:             On pg. 213, in place of deleted entry:

 

     Prerequisite: MATH 191; pre- or corequisite: MATH 192. Fall and Spring.

 

 

Impact: No impact on the staffing or resources of the Physics Department.

 

Rationale: There has been a recurring problem during registration with students not being able to register for PHYS 221 without also registering for MATH 192 since MATH 192 is listed as a corequisite. Students are unable to register for PHYS 221 without having an override for the corequisite, even if MATH 192 has already been completed. This is an inconvenience for the student.  Therefore, we are changing the MATH 192 corequisite for PHYS 221 to a pre- or corequisite.

     Prerequisite: PHYS 221; corequisite: MATH 291. Fall and Spring.

 

 

Add:            On pg 213, in place of deleted entry:

 

     Prerequisite: PHYS 221; pre- or corequisite: MATH 291. Fall and Spring.
