The example guidelines show that the framework created by UCC-Task Force II allows for the implementation of the goals of UCC-Task Force I and that the goals and framework together are workable.  We have drafted example guidelines for some of the foundation courses, the domains and for the WISER courses.  I want to stress that they are flexible guidelines, not criteria.  Furthermore, they are not complete.  We recognize that our colleagues have great ideas and significant expertise that should be incorporated.
