Questions on providing a Student Success Course included: How is the course going to be taught (by majors, developmental need, full-time/part-time, etc. Who will teach the course? How will they be compensated? Will it be tailored for campus needs.
QEP course topics included the following. The need for early establishment of learning communities, study groups, and library data base research. Learning types, test taking skills, and study skills should also be included in the course topics.
Since student success courses were at the forefront of the groups, we should definitely focus on seeking some more input for specific ideas from all community members (students, faculty, staff, administrators, community). Fletcher will develop a paper survey for all campuses where the students will respond to a question to ascertain student buy in on student success first year college experience QEP and ask them what should be included in the course. Advising will also be included in the paper survey.
