Gene, Thanks for informing me about the Nade poster. On the credit for developmental courses, please know that I believe there is nothing more valuable than the developmental courses. Without the developmental courses, the students would not be able to accomplish their academic goals. However, I believe part of the developmental mission is to preserve the integrity of the college-level postsecondary program. I've never been convinced that college credit for pre-college courses had merit. I do think these courses should be included in the college credit program and students should receive financial aid credit. Credit toward a degree plan, I personally disagree with.
