			Idea: go to faculty and students to get ideas for possible 3rd year courses. Maybe some of these can slot in for CIPS requirements?

			In particular: specialized teamwork/project courses, maybe even earlier than 3rd year?

	* 3004: ~~same~~		Idea: divide not into Major and Honours, but Industry and Academic track.
	* 3804: ~~same~~
			Idea: no track split, simply make courses at third and fourth year all optional, just put constraint on how many courses to take.

			Bottom-up design for 3rd and 4th year courses?

			Need to keep CIPS accreditation for honours degree. Can new courses help satisfy those requirements?

New page

==November 2, 2012==

Last time: discussed modules, what courses/topics should be in core

Third year topics

Old: 3000, 3004, 3005, 3007, 3804

New should be what?

Proposal by Doug: allow general degree-versions for all streams, make honours something for all students. Shouldn't be a fallback.

Note that this would make more students graduate under non-CIPS accredited degree. But how much does that matter?
