Last fall, two surveys went out to all students in ENG1200 and 12A0, one at midterm and one after the semester was over. The midterm survey asked students about how they saw themselves as writers, how they were doing so far in ENG12, and what kinds of things were contributing, or not, to their success. The survey for students after the semester was over asked how they did in the class and the things that helped or impeded their success.

The Office of Institutional Effectiveness recently helped us to analyze the results, and we would like to share this report with you. Let’s discuss: Do these results match your experiences and impressions of students’ struggles? What strategies can we brainstorm to best respond to this information?

Join us for a professional development session, Friday, April 19, and May 24, 10am-12noon, on Zoom, paid for part-timers and open to all. Come for one or both sessions (and appreciate the productive overlap!) Zoom links will be sent via email.
