* Offering the course on Problem-Based Learning (crurently CrCrTh 611) with a focus on real-world SICW issues is contemplated. If so, this course could substitute for CrCrTh 693 or 694 provided the requirements for the capstone "synthesis" project are met. [A proposal to make Problem-Based Learning a course in its own right is under development.]
