Hi Michael, I am not sure I understand how this works, could you tell us a little more? Does it mean, for example, that if you teach an upper division course there will be a section (taught by you or someone else) of that course for freshmen so that the course should be adapted to freshmen students? Wouldn't this be equivalent to having upper and a lower division versions of the same course? And, what happens if the upper division course has requirements?
