At U of C we are proposing some writing courses which will be linked to others discipline based courses in fairly close partnership. Not a radical concept but new to us here. I have been asked what happens if a students fails one or the other of the courses. Must she then repeat both? I can see logistical and pedagogical difficulties either way. Have other instirutions tried linked courses and if so how have they solved this problem? A reply by 2:30 Thursday MST would be nice (that's when I have to defend this proposal before General Faculties Council). Thanks. Doug
