And even if you set aside issues of taste (and I don't think we really can), there's the matter of which models will help OCW continue to develop into a robust, flexible, deepening project. Offering one "solid" course in gen ed areas doesn't support growth; it supports stability, perhaps, but it also supports what might appear to be a single-minded approach to subject matter. OCW, at its best, argues against that model of teaching and learning--its resources should reflect that. I completely agree with you on this point.
