There is a term in educational parlance -- a course must be "articulateable" -- it must be transferable to other colleges or universities to be a "real" course. The THEA 1101 course I am intending to teach this summer is supremely transferable, and thus, articulateable.
Even though the word is probably a "made-up" kenning kind of word -- it does say something about the state of education in Georgia. Only several dozen courses in the Savannah Tech General Studies Curriculum are transferable -- that is because the college/university system and the technical college system are "walled apart" by ignorance, stupidity, and bad leadership.
The colleges/universities are unwilling to give up their fiefdom to others. And even if the course in question is taught at the same level and by a teacher who could be teaching on the c/t level; it is considered somehow, lesser. Georgia will always be "backward" as far as education goes. It will all be constricting rather than fulsome.
