At Tuesday's department meetings, could you please ask the members of your department about their plans for __DOLs in December?__ Stuart and I would like to get a better sense of which courses are requiring exams versus projects. We will work as an Academic Council to ensure that the courses requiring projects have manageable due dates in place and are sensitive to the demands that students are experiencing in their other courses.

For now, begin collecting this information. If members of your department aren't sure about their plans, they should determine them in the next three weeks. Please send me your department's course list and DOL plan (with estimated due dates) by Thursday, October 8th. I would like to be able to compile the data and analyze it with you at our October 15th meeting.
