> Ms. Woolhiser,

> Below is a message from Dr. Carol Hodes at the Nuclear Eng. Dept. of Penn
> State.  As you may be aware, they offer a 4 unit Upper Level class,
> "Understanding Health Effects of Ionizing Radiation", course ID#  NUC E
497.
> This can be taken by correspondence, and is perfectly suited for the Navy
> Nuke with NRRPT Quals, to complete the Upper Level core requirements for
the
> Tech. B.S. at Regents College. ( I included a link to the class.)
>
> Dr. Hodes is considering shutting down the class due to low turnout this
> year.  I'm sure some of the NRRPT members would like to be able to take
the
> course before it is terminated.  Please alert the NRRPT membership to this
> disappearing opportunity.

> Thank you for your time,

> Dear DeWayne Holcomb:

> Here's the brief status of NucE 497--there has been very low enrollment
this
> year. At this point I now have only 4 students where I've had about 20-30
at
> any time in previous years.
>
>
> This leaves me thinking that the demand for this type of course is
> dwindling. Some of the lessons are a bit outdated, so the course needs to
be
> revised a bit, but I haven't undertaken this since enrollments are low. I
> guess I am wondering which came first (enrollments or demand for the
> course)?
>
>
> So if you know of others who might like this course, please let me know
> soon. Please call the Distance Ed Dept & try to enroll as soon as you can
> (800-252-3592) or e-mail at psude@cde.psu.edu to learn if you can enroll.
> Let me know your results.

> Dr. Hodes,

>
> I was told that the NUC E 497 correspondence class was going to close
soon.
>
> Is this permanent, or just a periodic closure? If periodic, when will it
be
>
> available again? I need to take this class for my B.S. core requirements
at
>
> another institution.

>
> Can you let me know the planned status of Course NUC E 497?
