What can we do to act on these issues?

 


  • Impressed with how many students are here; think it's great to hear what you have to say.
  • Small group, was one student in group, how to break away the barriers, feel we overran her.
  • Like the method; good ideas, small groups - great, spoke about diversity, it's very important to discuss this issue; need to do something to foster the acceptance of differences.
  • I've participated in many OSF => come as group, separate ourselves; need to link together; how do we all fit together; when you get people excited in learning, everything is doable.
  • Interesting to hear all the comments; I'd like to see things initiated and going, little bit by little bit.
  • The willingness needs to be with everybody.
  • No matter what our role we're all teachers, the attitude you have affects everyone you come in contact with.
  • I like the opportunity to talk with a broad group and see how everybody's ideas are similar => other people share our goals. Helpful to have a student perspective.
  • Issue was great, a lot of good communication and feedback; how important to instructor to hear what student has to say.
  • It was great to know that instructors are interested in what we [students] have to say.
  • Come back together as one group to discuss all the issues generated.
  • College attitude passes down to => teachers => students => community.
  • Important to hear other perspectives; have few experiences lately where students have been spotlighted and get to hear what they have to say; very compelling => need more opportunities to hear what students have to say about things that affect them and us.
  • Like the enthusiasm of our group; ideas were really good; implementation process we came up with seems plausible.
  • There needs to be more of a follow-through to discuss issues further.
  • Sharing what everybody else has...attitudes very important; get rid of 'I teach, you learn' 'I speak, you listen" etc. => share new attitude.
  • Reminded how important interrelationships are to learning; make PVCC more friendly, more personal, make students feel like PVC is there learning home; look for ways to encourage and foster the 'home' atmosphere.
  • I learned a lot; appreciate the honesty of the students; 'all human beings by nature desire to know' — this is a basic desire and why we're here.
  • Learning and the assessment of learning is going to become more pressured by the outside and we have to change to meet those expectations.
  • Talked about diversity, confirmed my feelings.
