How have you made decisions about which electives to include? Do you look at learning objectives? Are there any courses that someone has requested be added but were decided to be not appropriate for the major and, if so, why? Some have suggested including all biology courses, including Plants and Fungi. What criteria would you use to include or exclude a course as a neuro elective?</div><br><div>Thanks,</div><div>-Judy Ogilvie</div> <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">****************************************************<br>Judith Mosinger Ogilvie, Ph.D., FARVO<br>Associate Professor of Biology<br><div>Co-Director, Neuroscience Program</div><div> </div><div>Department of Biology<br>Saint Louis University<br>3507 Laclede Ave.<br>St. Louis, MO 63103<br><span data-mce-style="color: #0b5394;" style="color: #0b5394;" color="#0b5394">email: <a href="mailto:ogilviej@slu.edu" target="_blank" data-mce-href="mailto:ogilviej@slu.edu">ogilviej@slu.edu</a><br>Phone: 314-977-3965<br>Fax: 314-977-3658</span><br>*****************************************************</div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br><br>_______________________________________________<br>--remember replies to the mailing list go to everyone on the list!! --<br><br>FUN_Mail mailing list<br>FUN_Mail@lists.funfaculty.org<br>https://lists.funfaculty.org/mailman/listinfo/fun_mail<br>http://www.funfaculty.org/drupal/mailarchive/FUN_mail<br></div></div></body></html>
