Suggest a Recommendation: Select for ideas, suggestions, and recommendations for the curriculum team. A recommendation means something could be improved. This is not to say the recommendation is not problematic; however, it is not dire nor broken.

The Ticket description should provide as much detail as possible about your issue or recommendation.
