Yes, the Inservice was very helpful and memorable, that is, I will be able to use the information and ideas to improve my teaching and relationships with students. I was wondering if there was an official ‘evaluation form’ to turn in.

This was a good experience for me. I learned a few new faces and presentations were helpful, esp in the areas of technology and library use. The speaker was wonderful. I’ll go again next year.

Will there be a posting regarding the town hall meeting? I was unable to attend.

“Raising and rigidly enforcing minimum enrollment” as a way to save money (by not having to pay so many adjuncts?)could have a domino affect. You can pick whatever the cut-off number is, but since I don’t know what it is, I’ll use the number six. Say a typical prerequisite-type course has only six enrollees and it’s cancelled. Then say the next higher-level course also has six enrollees, and it too is cancelled. Had the first course not been cancelled and had the students passed and wanted to move on, then, instead of six for the next level, there might have been twelve. So, by canceling the first course for low enrollment, we potentially also lose the second course to low enrollment.
We are a school. If money must be saved, turning away students seems an odd place to start.

This is a truly spectacular capability. When I think of all of those times that I’ve forgotten to forward files to myself, I could cry.
Well, I will cry no more! This access is just like being on my machine at work. I can even connect from my iMac! Thanks for sharing this, Dan.
