Dear Faculty,
Several questions have arisen since sending out the notice regarding Podules. Below are your questions and my answers!

Answer: Podules are a more efficient, clean, and best-practice way to organize learning.
Question: How will chairs of departments fit into the new Podule system?
Answer: In the reduntification of departments, we have also reduntified chairs.
How will the Podule system deal with prerequisites? For example, how exactly would we determine who is eligible for advanced seminars in biology?
Answer: Prerequisites will be integrated into the podule system as it becomes fully operationalized.
Thank you, Provost Confabuloso

We are trying to respond to questions as promptly as possible at our website
If done correctly, they will no longer require faculty. see the post on phasing out faculty. As always, Willard is truly beyond the cutting edge.
Who are you?
We will be communicating with you shortly “Chip.”
Is there an assessment plan for the podules?
