31 Over time, as increasing numbers of students enter college already computer competent, enrollment levels in Comp Lit and Comp Lit II should invert.

So, the vast majority of students are missing out on the benefits provided by Comp Lit II.

32 Students are missing out on the benefits provided by Comp Lit II.

33 Raising the Bar for CGS2060 A common “complaint” from students is that Comp Lit is too easy. Still, those students choose Comp Lit over Comp Lit II. If you can’t bring the horse to water, bring the water to the horse.
