We never delete a class list. Once created, it belongs to the department and is co-owned with the instructor by the department course co-ordinator. The course co-ordinator is responsible for changing list owners in a new Term or Semester or the current instructor can do it. We only delete course lists if we are told that the course will never be taught again. We provide an opt-in process for yearly archive deletion or instructors can delete archives themselves via a web form. > How do other schools handle this task? I'm curious whether you put the > semester and year in the name - SP02-ANTHY100-2. No. Only one list is created per course (and one per course section) and the list is used in each term or semester the course is offered. So, MATH 112 would be MATH112-L and sections are designated by letters, so section A of MATH 112 would be, MATH112A-L. If we included year and semester info, we would be creating new lists every term/semester. > Do you offer to populate the lists? If so, do you keep them up to date > as drop/adds occur. No. We provide a web form so instructors can update their courses as they need to with the authentication provided through listserv. -- Trish ------------ Trish Forrest, ITS, Queen's University Kingston, Ontario
