I am excited to report that my department is moving to a two-course inorganic sequence. We have always taught "Advanced Inorganic Chemistry" without an official introductory course. Now we will also have a "foundations" level course. My "problem" is that in this upcoming semester, Fall 2011, the two courses will be cross-listed and the lecture part will meet simultaneously. This is a one-time arrangement; after Fall 2011, the courses will be distinct. We have two populations of students that are enrolled under different graduation requirements, but we cannot staff two courses this year.

Hi all,
