Brighton Classroom Teaching Needs


Welcome back for the beginning of the Fall 2009 semester.  I hope you have had the opportunity to relax this summer because this Fall appears to be a record breaker in enrollment.  Just a reminder of a couple of points to enhance the educational experience for our students:

·     Once again, some of you may be teaching in a room that has 30 chairs but you have only 20 students.  Please don’t push the “extra” chairs into the hallway.  In most cases, twelve other faculty members will be utilizing that space and you will be depriving their students of a chair.

·      If you have a student who needs special classroom chair accommodations, please contact me.

·     The folks in Facilities have partnered with us to set up the classrooms for our students.  If your class size exceeds the number of chairs in the room, please contact me and I’ll get Facilities to add chairs.  Please don’t “borrow” them from the room next door; those 13 sections will then be short furniture.

·     If you experience problems with the AV equipment, please contact them via the phone by calling the extension AVAV (2828).

·     If you experience problems with a classroom computer, please contact CNS utilizing the number HELP (4357) and then pressing the 2 key when prompted.

If I could ask a favor: if you experience any of these issues, could you contact the appropriate person/department when you are still in the room?  This way ETS can work on the issue as soon as possible and potentially repair the problem before the next class experiences issues.

After the first 4 weeks of school, I will run a report and see if I can pull back any excess furniture in the classrooms.

I hope you have a great semester.  If there is anything I can do feel free to contact me @ <"mailto:rcunningham@monroecc.edu">.
