Feedback from Staff

I watched the "Choosing a Major" workshop and loved it! This is exactly what Karen, James, and I have been working on for the last year. Not having the technical know how, our presentation does not look or sound as great as this. We love the videos! We have used them with students who are on probation/suspension. We have given them to our professors teaching

  • ur first year experience classes. The responses have been very

positive. Please let us know if you develop any new titles.

slide-26
SLIDE 26

Student Feedback

Overall the workshop was very helpful, but the most important thing i learned it today was know how pay attention and assess my study skills which help me relax and relief the anxiety. I rate her presentation as an excellent because the examples she gave were from students experience and also discussed the most issues the student may face that hinder him/her from focusing and loosing thier academic progress. Overall all the strategies discussed in the workshop are very helpful. but the most helpful and beneficial strategy is cognitive restructuring. Turning something into a positive by self-refection.

SLIDE 27

Why?

Problems Students don’t attend student success workshops, because they cannot make it to campus or they don’t think they will use the information. They need the information when they need it. Students miss critical class lectures due to absences. Students don’t attend student success workshops, because they cannot make it to campus or don’t have the time. Therefore workshop attendance is low and faculty and staff are frustrated. I need to prove to administration that students need on-demand services Solutions

  • Accessible: Access the site 24/7. Just in time training. For example, a student is taking a test the

next day and needs some multiple choice strategies. The student can access the workshop from home in order to prepare for the test.

  • Engaging: Interactive and effective presentations, action plans and resources. All workshops are

practical and can be applied immediately.

  • Cost-Effective: Serve students (incoming and current), faculty, staff and parents for one low price.

And we do the work for you!

  • Tracking

IE can run monthly reports for you so you know how many students are viewing each workshop.
