      •  Iterative component must be explicit.

  6. Writing Requirements.
    The committee recommends that when the program description is
    updated, we should separate the minimum sustained writing
    requirement from the feedback, such that half of minimum
    required writing gets feedback, and a sustained multipage
    assignment is still required.
