I think to make better advances it is much better to combine the ideas at both levels and make it a one subject that combines the two, while also keeping a lot more students interested and curious to learn more.

Well, unless those two courses only contain half a courses worth of content you will either have to cut out certain parts of the curriculum or you keep it all, at which point you will need to stretch the course over two semesters. Ideally if you do that you should separate them in a sensible manner, like for example into one theoretical and one applied course.

I can't tell what you're arguing to change or how you want to change it.
Give us some concrete statements that can be discussed. >

You are right. I edit it now
