SURVEY RESULTS FOR THE MATH LAB FOR THE FALL OF 2004

 

Summary

Generally, we got very good marks in most areas.  We improved in almost all areas except for the comfort of the Math Lab.  I think that it was too crowded because we move in extra desks in August 2004, so I've already moved 2 desks into storage.

 

While our score on “Response time to Flags” increased, it still seems like we have room for improvement.

 

we don't always have enough help to get everyone's questions answered in a timely manner.  Unfortunately, with the budget cuts and productivity quotas, I don't see that improving any time in the near future.

 

I was also disturbed by the trend in students with tutors – the number with has dropped to 12.5% and the number withoujt increased accordingly.  The open lab use followed a similar trend, down to 22% using the open lab.  We need to more actively encourage students to use the open lab and tutors throughout the semester.
