Students find their classes to be stimulating and enriching, with just the right amount of challenge. Students participate in class and take ownership for their own learning process.
Students perceive that faculty are involved in students lives outside of class.
Students experience academic advising as a process that helps them set goals and create individual paths for success, not just in college, but also in life. Perhaps our interest in our students has been more on a personal level and has not focused enough on their academic strengths. Promote the active involvement of students in the learning process by using strategies that capitalize on various learning styles and engage students with the material. When students state that faculty are not taking into consideration students differences as they teach a course, they often are referring to faculty awareness of learning styles and even learning disabilities, according to focus groups we ve conducted with CCCU students. Student focus groups often mention testing procedures as an example of not taking into consideration student differences.
