Newly Proposed Course ID Numbering System

Many if not all us have received requests to comment on the recently proposed Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID), a supranumbering system being developed to ease the transfer and articulation burdens in California’s higher educational institutions.  This is something that could impact the look, content, and feel of our courses. We have just a little bit of time to comment on these descriptors by registering at the C-ID site and then responding to what has been proposed.  You might love or hate what is in the works.  To learn more about C-ID, please visit their ABOUT page. To access FAQs for faculty, please click here

I have linked the proposed descriptors here, if you don't want to use C-ID's simple registration.  You could comment (anonymously) here in our blog, and we could compile those comments (hit the comments link below) and send them to C-ID and/or our articulation officer.

Here are the descriptors:
ENGL 110: Freshman Composition
ENGL 115: Argumentative Writing and Critical Thinking
ENGL-CW 100: Introduction to Creative Writing
ENGL-LIT 100: Introduction to Literature
ENGL-LIT 105: Critical Writing and Thinking Through Literature
ENGL-LIT 160:  Survey of British Literature 1
