Exit Interviews

Angela, Thank you for sharing your previous experiences with the group. Conducting them both anonymously through a survey and in person upon and after the final posting of grades will help ensure the most honest dialogue. I like the idea but I am not sure how it would be applied to throughout a larger institution. Cindy Bryant

Ethical Practices

Angie, Many adult learners feel that they do not have a responsibility to their instructors. The bottom line is that faculty and staff have an obligation to take a student at his word regarding their work. This is a difficult situation for an instructor to encounter especially when you feel that you know that the student is being untruthful. Cindy Bryant

Misrepresentation

Mary, Students always enter an institution with a certain level of concern due to the unknown. I agree that it is important to avoid confusing the student because when you couple this with their own fears they could easily decide to withdraw. Cindy Bryant

Student Complaints

Sandra, Sometimes taking a group approach to student complaints is very effective BUT sometimes it creates chaos that cannot be controlled or contained. Accessing issues on a case by case basis is always a good practice. Cindy Bryant
