                      Questions were asked about whether this form should be used when creating new courses or if previously approved courses would need to be looked at and justified. Questions were also asked regarding whether courses should be discussed regardless of C-ID approval. If a course was C-ID approved over the specified unit value, do those still need to be discussed? Discussion then continued as it was pointed out that most of our courses are set at the minimum value under the Carnegie unit range. For example, a three unit lecture course can be 48-51 hours, and the majority of our courses are set at the minimum or in this example, 48 hours. So courses could include more hours while maintaining a lower unit value.<\/p>\n
