<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you to everyone that has replied to me.<span style> </span>I really appreciate your comments.<span style> </span><br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p><p class="MsoNormal">Just so everyone knows, a stagecraft class
does exist and mainly theatre majors take it.<span style>
</span>The challenge is that our enrollment is way down.<span style> </span>We have 8-12 majors and a handful of minors. <span style> </span>My student workers are mainly engineering
students.<span style> </span>We are very excited for our
new chair that began in August.<span style> </span>We are
currently working on revising the curriculum and setting recruitment
goals.<span style> <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The chairs idea was to offer the class during work hours so
that the engineers could take it. The chair thought the engineers couldn’t take
Stagecraft because it was being offered in the mornings when engineering
classes are being offered at the same time.<span style>
</span>What we found out was that the <span style> </span>engineering students couldn’t take it no
matter what because they have every single day planned for them the day they
walk into the first classroom.<span style> <br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify">Having the class in the
afternoon, as Paul mentioned, is not a good idea due to the fact that
less would get done.<span style> </span>As June mentioned
it would accomplish the educational goal, but it will impede on my overall
efficiency.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><br></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So it sounds like based on Kristi’s, Richard’s and June’s responses
that maybe a technical director or production management class might be a good
idea once we get butts in the classrooms – haha!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><br></p>
