The results of our questionnaire suggest that students learn best when class size is small, interaction is emphasized, and modes of instruction include alternatives to straight lecture. Appropriate support services should be available to students and faculty . Academic advising will be mandatory for students. Career advising will be readily available to teach students the relevance of their studies to the world of work.
