February 9 Launch: Survey of Introductory Courses via the Developmental Education Council

Please share with students:

In recognition of students once served by the Transitional Studies Department, Interim Dean Ganze-Smith and Dean Woods convened MCC’s inaugural Developmental Education Council.  Members of the Council represent academic departments and divisions across the college, as well as the TAAC.  The group has established a vision and created corresponding goals.   

In order to meet some of the goals of the group, we would like to hear directly from students in gateway courses in order to gain a better understanding of their self-reported capabilities and barriers.  The results of this survey will then help inform future trainings, presentations, and recommendations.

The Council has collaborated with Institutional Research and is pleased to administer a survey to these students. 

Next week, the survey will be sent to students in in a random sample of these courses: 

  • BIO 120, BIO 133, BIO 144
  • BUS 104 
  • CHEM 100 
  • ENG 101 
  • MTH 096; 098; 104; 150; 160; 165 
  • PSY 101 
  • SOC 101 
  • TRS 090; TRS 091; TRS 094 

Faculty teaching the sample courses will be receiving further details through email. 

Any questions or further comment may be sent to Eric Berg (eberg4@monroecc.edu) or Judi Salsburg Taylor (jsalsburg@monroecc.edu), co-chairs, Developmental Education Council.
