Fall 98 Observation Schedule

Dear LC folks,

Some of you have been waiting eagerly for more information about the observations that we in the assessment group are going to do this year. After much deliberation, we plan to observe 3 times per semester to begin. In the Fall, those dates are:

September 14-21

October 19-23

November 16-23

So, for about an hour each sometime during these weeks (which yes, includes next week!) one of us will be in your LC. Here are the people involved for each LC:

LC4 Bill and Kim
LC5 Terri and Jay
LC6 Charla and Jay

LC7 Janna and a person yet to be named
LC8 Drew and Delsherae
LC9 Terri and Brandon

At this point, the facets that we decided to observe are really objective and general.

how many students/faculty present

physical environment

general number of participation

direction of interaction, i.e., faculty to student/ student to student/student to faculty.

Please remember that this is both preliminary and not intended to judge how individual faculty are performing. We want to understand how the LCs operate. And everyone, of course, is invited to share ideas and observations with us.

Many thanks,

Bill Cummings
