.5 Credit Class

A new class worth one-half a credit could be introduced next fall. The class will use the new id card system to track attendance at Whitworth-sponsored lectures and events.

No additional work will be necessary beyond attendance.

The class will count as an elective, and students will have to pay for the class if it causes overload.

The class is modeled on a former program called Forum, which failed in 2003. Under forum, Whitworth students were forced to attend lectures and events. Attendance was tracked by sign-in sheets.

ASWC representative Joy Bacon said she recommended to the department chairs that the class include ASWU sponsored events since many of them lack high attendance.
