• The BBSc requirements were easy for me to understand,, mostly due to the highly structured (and prescribed at that) nature of this degree. I guess this is related to the registration requirements of the professional body?
• Because of this highly structured nature (second only to the BE?) we probably don't have to show the degree requirements by default, as doing the prescribed courses plus electives of at least 30 points will meet all the requirements.
  •  We could still have them but have them rolled up and available only when requested.
• Architecture History and Theory is somewhat more complicated than the other three majors, but Joanna has agreed that we can cut a corner here.
• Further, we can resource the development of a visual representation of this degree for each of the three main majors.

Thoughts and questions

• The BBSc is highly structured, although fractionally less so than the BAS. Do we have to show the degree rules by default?
• 2h. Is it desirable to specify here that a first year elective course is required ? Removes the need for the student to do the maths behind the rules above (see question above). Also relates to whether entry to first year is based on grade from elective or not?
• 4: Could be replaced by Calendar statement, but means little to students so prefer this wording. Is FAD okay with it? 
• 4: Is B+ average part accurate? Are the grades from all first year courses (including any possible substitutions and electives) considered or all the required first year courses? Could move from requirements to supplementary information?
• The supplementary information above is given in case people wonder why courses are listed twice, but to avoid explaining about doing this subject as a major in the BBSc cf in another degree. Is this okay? Accurate?
• New: How often do students of the BBSc combine one of these majors with one from another degree. How/when to do cater for this?
• New: If I want to refer to the first year core courses can I move the 100-level elective to its own requirement?
