Advice to Baruch College
My advice for Baruch College would be to start using new media only, and do not send paper brochures about all kinds of academic events. I get them pretty often in the mail and unfortunately they all end up in the garbage.
Facebook connects students so that would be a great idea to come up with a Facebook page to enter with Baruch user id only. It would be divided into certain majors so if a student has a problem for example with a math homework, he/she could post it on Math Baruch site and he would get the answer from others quickly and conveniently. There would be no need for paying for tutoring or getting frustrated
A lot of students have failed Precalculus final last semester (about 70%) so it would be very helpful if Baruch would be posting each departmental final after each semester and provide solutions. There is only five tests as of today that haven’t been updated in years! The final is getting harder, not easier
Same for other classes, like psychology or philosophy. I’m sure students would love to have discussions and learn simultaneously online.
New media is a great opportunity for the College to expand the communication with students and professors as well. If they implemented my suggestions, I’m sure the entire College experience would be much more enjoyable.

I definitely agree, it is so hard to connect with students and the paper flyers certainly dont do the trick. Baruch's campus life has a horrible reputation, even though the organizations work so hard to get the school involved. Baruch's use of new media to develop a forum to connect students and make them aware of events, and other things would be extremely beneficial for students and would certainly enrich the students' college experience.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with you. If Baruch put some more attention towards improving campus life, more people would be attracted to attend it.
