School Evaluation Summary

As stated in the summary itself, I completed the survey primarily on my own experiences with the college. However, I did meet with several people in the school's administration to get answers to things I really wasn't aware of.

I think the most surprising part of completing this assignment was the enthusiasm I received from the administrators that I met with. There is a definite three-way divide at the university between administration, the school's IT department, and the faculty body, and I think that the divide is so engrained in the school's culture that we don't even think about how much more we could accomplish if we worked together more often. It was good to know that there was genuine interest both in helping me complete the survey, as well as getting feedback so that they can look at what improvements we can make in the future.

As a whole, I think the school does a good job of putting the students' needs first, to make sure that resources, faculty, and staff are available to help them meet whatever goal they have set for themselves. That said, I think there is still much more we could do in terms of using technology to help with that goal.
