PAR

• If you haven't delivered to me your PAR yet, you are late.
• If you haven't scheduled your PAR meeting with me yet, please do so now.
• Some trivial money may be allocated to salary bumps based on PARs this year (remains to be seen)

Jiakai's Facial Recognition proposal

I want your feedback. Jiakai has asked for a letter of support and any such letter will be contingent on faculty preference.

423 Prerequisite Nightmare

• I am inundated by requests for prerequisite waivers in 423.
• The most frequent is from folks who just flunked 344.
• Second-most frequent is from folks who got C- or lower in 342.
• The dean does not like prereq waivers, and with good reason.
• Comparison:

  NMT	C or better in 342, D or better in programming languages, software engineering, analysis of algorithms
  NMSU	C- or better in OOP, data structures, machine organization
  UNM	"admitted to school of engineering"
  UIdaho	programming languages, theory of computation
  UArizona	machine organization, discrete structures, systems programming

• Proposal: drop the 344 prereq. Change 342 to a C- or better. Still require programming languages and software engineering
