àUndergraduate Course Issues

-the course BPK 306 is and has been a major concern for the longest time; issues with this course include:

-the 25% consistent failure rate

-many students are often afraid of taking the class and leave it until the very last semesters in

in their undergraduate career; the class has a very negative image

-many students only take the class to pass; too many students are having to retake the class (an

economic issue also)

course

addressed ASAP!
