Dean Pappas expressed frustration that we cannot better capture students' comments. There is a need to capture their excitement and share it with administration. Course syllabi needs to reach students as early as possible and must be clearer. They want to order the books and form study groups prior to the class. Frustration with ordering from Specialty Books - CLS will work with Specialty to clear up problems.
Students get different editions from different vendors.
Also, it appears that publishers are not printing new editions until they have a specified number of requests. Faculty - Very positive about the faculty whether in classes or internet. However, students say faculty need to be reminded that they are working with adult students. CLS needs to do a better job of reminding faculty of this. Library - does not respond well to long term students because they drop off the computerized tracking system.
