Dear All,
Please help promote MAS 4013 in fall 2024.
The department has removed the prerequisite for MAS 4013 in fall and this class is a great upper division elective for many majors.

Juan,
I always understood that we can only change pre req as a catalogue change. I think we will have to do it manually. For sure, we will get rid of the pre req this year since it is undergraduate catalogue year change.
Saying that, yes please find out if we can do it through CLSS.
Thanks for following up on this,

We’ve been trying to do this, so yes let’s get rid of the pre req!. We thought we had removed the pre-req. last undergraduate year but didn’t. Will do this year. So yes, if we can get a few more students that will be great.
Take care,

Hi Derek,
Yes, I think removing MAS 2013 as a prerequisite would be best. We approve request.

Subject: MAS 4013 inquiry
Professor Cervantes,
Good afternoon! I hear that MAS 4013 may be considered for cancelation due to low enrollment (currently four students). Before final decision is made, I request consideration of removing MAS 2013 as a prerequisite for this semester only. I’ve had some MAS admits this semester that I wanted to recommend take it but they don’t have MAS 2013 completed or will be doing it this semester. Since this is the first time it has been offered in some time, maybe removing that prerequisite can increase enrollment. If that doesn’t work, then department would have to make the decision.
This is just a thought. Let me know what you think about it after conferring with rest of faculty.
Sincerely,
Derek
