We ordered a copy in Feb so the college would have it in the library for reference. The fiscal year is now at an end and the thing has not arrived. Bean counters calling to ask about the order, bean counters calling Miami asking about the order.
Sheesh.
National standards are not *required* to be published every two years.. I think the committee might be wise to think about limiting revisions to every 3-5 years... While that strategy would remedy the embarrassing problem of continued late publication (this isn't the first time) it would cut into the profitability of book sales.
Maybe that would be balenced by the lack of need to produce a new D1.1 gigantic test bank for the CWI exam every two years........ While the D1.1 code is written by volunteers... I'm pretty sure those CWI/SCWI exams are contracted out at no small expense. It must take a PHD in education to conjur up a bank of questions as tricky, trap laden and confusing as what is presented for that exam.
