Meeting Report

HAG Team meeting report:

On the 24^th Oct we had a meeting which aims to produce recommendations and suggestions to help students do better in the first three weeks at the college. These weeks are precious due to their initial effect on the psychological condition of the students which will be the spark let of the student’s performance which will be represented by the overall GPA at the end of the semester.

I started the meeting with welcoming the members and introducing our main topic which was about the first three weeks at the college. The first bullet was shot at the attendance issue which took about 3 minutes of discussion; then all the members where agreed on making lectures to inform the students about the importance of the attendance with making workshops and giving some bonus as a motivation for them.

The second point of discussion was about the parking peak hours fluctuation which is standing as an obstacle on the student’s way to the lecture. The members suggested making a monthly study among daily surveys in the parking lot to come up with a chart which represent the crowded hours to help students to avoid late attendance.

The third point was about the clear course criteria. The members most public suggestion was to publish an official course content to enable the student know the requirements and goals of his courses for a better performance.

The forth point was assembling technology in education. The members suggested using One Note instead of the traditional board method to give the late students a chance to catch up with their colleagues. Another suggestion is to encourage students to use mobile applications which enable them to be in touch with the college’s updates.

The fifth point discussed the academic and revision schedules. Members agreed that college must offer an official setting of after academic schedule; so that low-level and mid-level students can improve their course perception with the co-operation of their high-level colleagues which at the end will improve the academic skills of all parties.

The last point was about the students’ personal skills exchange. Members were agreed on making social clubs for talent people and getting the interested people involved so that college life become more enthusiastic.

The way that members expressed their opinions with a simple and clear language, and their understanding to the topics gave great ideas which were harvested as our list of recommendations. Hopefully the next meeting will indicate the good of our list and it will be sent to the administration to implement it.
