We have completed a revision of our third and fourth year curriculum affecting two of the capstione courses that we intend to use for assessment. Both were expanded from half-semester duration to full semester length by combination with course content from an abolished course. The first of these two courses is being taught for the first time this semester (Fall 09) and the second will be taught for the first time in Spring 2010. Emphasis right now is on development of these courses so that they may be used for assessment in the 10/11 or 11/12 academic year. The third capstone course has been taught by a lecturer for the past two semesters for lack of full-time, tenure-track/tenured personnel.
