Unresolved Issues
There are 14 current BPP students in years 2 through 6, and only 12 slots. We have adopted the following solution:
- As is tradition, the second years could share a (possibly extended since there are 3) slot
Alternatively we could add another class.
There maybe scheduling conflicts with the currently proposed seminar time slot. The students will explore this and report back to the faculty when they reach a consensus.
