Re: [CU Discussion] Cross registration document

Well, that IS the problem with involving more people in a design. The creator needs to decide whether local expertise could help by improving decisions or hinder by adding to the decision load. For example, I think that the physical plant folks should be consulted whenever any sidewalk is laid out -- because they're going to have to keep them safely clear of snow in the winter. I'm looking at the walks currently being laid around Old Main and I would venture to guess that nobody was asked "Are there any changes we would make the physical plant's job of plowing them easier?" That's my concern -- that we're all on the same team and we should seek ways to work with each other. In my opinion, there's at least a trillion dollars sitting on the table for anybody who could help institutions like ours cooperate internally more effectively.

Cross registration document

by Russell Nelson

We recently received an announcement about a new cross registration policy. Couple of complaints about it, both of them trivial but hopefully larger than that. As a computer scientist, we have learned that people read the beginnings and endings (mostly beginnings), so we have learned not to use names with opposite meanings that begin with the same few letters. So naming them "home" and "host" when the words have opposite meanings is not optimal. How could this have been avoided? By asking "Who at Clarkson could help improve this document?" before publishing it. Probably wouldn't be obvious to ask the computer science folks, but the technical writing might have known. And as a Clarkson graduate with an advanced degree who wrote a thesis, Dave Bray beat it into me (thank you, Dave) to define my terms (which this document did), but then to use them in the document as defined, which this document didn't do, putting "host" and "home" into quotes. It's a nit, BUT it's another sign that Clarkson doesn't eat its own dog food. We have excellent teachers -- why don't we ask them for help? Don't we trust ourselves? Don't we believe in ourselves? See why I think these are more than just nits and worthy of discussion?
