3. ASC Exit Survey
1. Question of how many questions will be on survey, how many can be college and major specific? Would like to see 20 ASC, 5 college & 5 major
2. Jessica will follow-up with Alexis Collier regarding the number of questions that are allowed and at what level and send information to the committee
3. Suggested that if it is only college OR major is allowed, major questions would be asked with a set that are same across the college
4. Next meeting we will brainstorm questions to use
4. Enrollment of new Freshmen
1. Concern expressed over the number of students that need to be accommodated in Chemistry, a request for help from the College will be coming
2. Suggested that students who are not freshmen be advised to take Chem 121 in Spring & Summer
5. Physics Major numbers increasing dramatically 32 – 50 in one year
1. Causing stress on major course work, there seems to be a difference in ability level for quantum physics
2. Suggested that a 594 be proposed to pilot a new version of quantum to help gear course work more appropriately with students based on educational (graduate work) goals
3. Suggested that 2 sections of course be created with pre-req of Permission of Instructor so that program can meet with students and determine which students should be in which section
