      ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION  
    10 mins 5.1 Enrolments
    One again, enrolments have grown dramatically (+30%). This is not sustainable. How can we deal with it.     		Andrew Taylor
    10 mins 5.2 High Schools Computing Course
    This has proved a successful "feeder" into our programs. We should continue to run it, but who will champion it?     		?
    10 mins 5.3 Running Lab Exams
    Currently lab exams are handled primarily by a casual. Is this sustainable?     		?
    10 mins 5.4 SISTM Course Changes
    Some INFS courses have changed how they treat CSE students.     		Alan Blair
    10 mins 5.5 Course Quotas and Offerings
    Three related issues:
    • We annoy the Nucleus by constantly having our courses fill up, and having long waiting lists. What can we do to fix this? 999 quota on all course offerings?
    • If courses reach 1500? 2000? students over the whole year, should we automatically schedule them 3 times?
    • Can we balance course offerings across terms? Currently T3 has more than T1 and T3, and people constantly ask to have their courses run in T3.
