Common Course Numbering: Implementation Plan Approved Amidst Lingering Faculty Concern

Over three years in the planning, the Common Course Numbering implementation plan has finally moved through the councils, commissions, and committees and won its official approval amidst lingering faculty concern and heated debate. Four faculty workshops were conducted between December 2006 and February 2007. The first group of colleges is set to implement the new CCN plan for summer 2007. The new plan adopts the use of a common course designator which is expected to reduce colleges’ CCN related workload about 75% from the previous plan. The “&” symbol will be used as the designator. See the final list of common courses for Summer 2007 and the protocol for course numbers and titles of the 3-digit numbering scheme.

There are faculty in the system who are still unhappy with the CCN plan. (See posts, Feb. 5 & Nov. 7) FACTC has conducted deep discussions on CCN and maintains its neutral position due to the diversity of opinion among faculty. However, as the implementation moves forward FACTC president Diane Pelletier expressed hope that the project would be completed effectively and efficiently, with adequate faculty input for the benefit of students. There may be opportunity to review ‘what worked and what didn’t” at the end of the summer. So the conversation will continue.

CCN statistics:

  • Transfer statistics: More than 60,000 students transferred within the Washington CTC system last year. About 15,000 students transferred from community and technical colleges to universities in Washington state last year. (Source: Washington State Board of Community and Technical Colleges)
  • The four public baccalaureate institutions are not participating in the CCN project at this time, but have expressed interest in its potential.
  • WFT November 2006 CCN survey results: Of the over 300 respondents, 52% had either not heard of CCN or had few details about it; 84% reported that they had not been involved in discussions about it on their campuses. (Source: Washington Federation of Teachers)

The organization offers a single [url=http://muachunggiatot.com/thoi-trang.html]khuyen mai gia re[/url] for every single functioning day in every single of the marketplaces it serves. The Groupon performs as an assurance arrangement making use of ThePoint's method: if a distinct selection of folks indicator up for the supply, then the offer turns into offered to all if the predetermined bare minimum is not fulfilled, no 1 gets the deal that working day. This lowers hazard for stores, who can deal with the discount discount codes as quantity price cut charges as successfully as earnings promoting assets. Groupon assists make money by retaining around fifty % the earnings the customer pays for the coupon.

For situation in point, an $eighty therapeutic massage could be acquired by the consumer for $forty by signifies of Groupon, and then Groupon and the retailer would break up the $forty. That is, the retailer supplies a therapeutic therapeutic massage valued at $eighty and will get about $20 from Groupon for it (beneath a fifty%/fifty% break up). Or, if $240 worth of residence painting options is obtained by the buyer for $fifty by implies of Groupon, then the group will get $twenty five and Groupon retains $twenty five. The customer gets the therapeutic massage, or the residence portray provider, in these illustrations, from the retailer for which they to commence with paid out $forty (or $fifty) to Groupon. There are particular companies to which Groupon at first did not supply you its providers, such as capturing ranges and strip golf tools nevertheless, taking pictures ranges have been highlighted on Groupon.

As opposed to categorised advertising, the merchant does not devote any upfront value to take part: Groupon collects personalized details from willing buyers and then contacts only individuals buyers, mainly by every day e-mail, who could possibly be intrigued in a particular product or solutions.

Groupon employs a big amount of copywriters who draft descriptions for the bargains featured by e-mail and on the internet site. Groupon's advertising and marketing textual content for the 'deals' has been witnessed as a contributing element to the popularity of the world wide web web site, showcasing a distinctive mix of comprehensive reality-examining and witty humor.

Owing to Groupon's market turning out to be primarily composed of female buyers, the deals are typically concentrated on the wellness, bodily health and attractiveness marketplaces.

There are potential difficulties with the organization product. For illustration, a effective deal could temporarily swamp a little organization with as properly several customers, jeopardizing a possibility that clientele will be dissatisfied, or that there won't be ample product to meet up with the require. Hole, a huge clothing retailer, was able to deal with 445,000 coupons in a nationwide supply (even with the simple fact that it skilled server problems at one particular particular stage), but a a lot more compact business could turn into out of the blue flooded with clients. 1 espresso store in Portland, Oregon struggled with an improve in customers for 3 months, when it presented around to 1,000 Groupons on the one working working day it was offered, according to a solitary report.
