Next year for the first time I will be running a combined class as the number choosing Units 1 & 2 and 3 & 4 were not sufficient for a stand alone in each area. Doing the math, the take up for IPM here is less then 1% and Systems roughly 2% next year. That figure breaks down to about equal male and female in IPM and in Systems all but one student is male.</SPAN></SPAN></FONT></DIV></DIV></FONT></DIV></DIV></SPAN></BLOCKQUOTE><BR></DIV><DIV>At Bright we have never run IS, but have run IPM.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><DIV>Initial student selections indicated that we would need to run only one IT class in 2006.
