As the university strives to make UW-L a top contender academically in the UW system, it looks to improve the level at which our professors teach. One way to up the competition is to dismiss remedial classes as part of the course catalog. This would mean that any 051 courses offered would only be availabe online for students who are required to take the course before beginning taking credits at the university level. UW-L offers these remedial courses for mathematics and english, allowing international students an opportunity to get a better understanding before jumping into the curriculum. However, the debate comes down to whether or not these courses are doing more harm than good.
