Talk:Fall 2004 - Spring 2011 Division I

Probably time that this page got updated, ja?

NOTE: the following are inaccurate concerning the "current" Div I system;


 * 1) Students must satisfactorily complete one class from each of the five schools students can complete independent studies to cover their reqs. class attendance is not required


 * 1) Students must compose a Division I Portfolio, including Retrospective and Self-evaluations

this is at professorial discretion. i passed without this.


 * 1) Students must attend a Final Division I Meeting

this is at professorial discretion. i passed without this.


 * 1) At the end of Division I, a student must assemble a Preliminary Concentration Form

you can skip this. i did.

regarding the use of the term "departments"
At one time, anyone associated with Hampshire was very careful to

never refer to any aspect of the academic operating units of the

college as a department. The term of art was "school", to refer

to each of the four academic operating units for which a student

completed an independent project. As there was a much broader

conception of learning, as well as a more untainted process-centered

orientation, it was easy to understand the importance of maintaining

an important part of Hamshire's distinctiveness by not referring to

'schools' as departments.
