However, once the enrollment hit triple digit numbers, a “coursework only” optionhad to be introduced to address 1) the needs of those who were already working, 2) the limitationthat the faculty number presents in such growth and 3) the needs of, and issues faced with, onlinestudents.In this paper, the issues and strategies used to create, implement, and sustain the program arediscussed. Such issues include: limitation of financial resources, flexibility of the program, andcurrency of the program to address the needs of industry, delivery modes, as well as recruitmentto sustain high enrollment.Initial Stages of the

We devised a questionnaire, sent them in advance and then conductedaudio-visual interviews. Since the CEO’s had decades of successful experience, we alsoincluded open-ended questions to provide them adequate space for genuine expression.The present level of ethics averaged to 2.87 and the 2020 prediction stood at optimistic 4.5,on the scale of 1 to 7 (7 being the best). We also asked CEOs, reasons for present poor rating,optimism for 2020, the causes behind present status and of course the remedial measures.The major reasons included pressure to achieve results, especially short

Q5: What, if any, effect does R-Calc have on retention rates for URM, Women, Pell- eligible students? Q6: What, if any, effect does R-Calc have on pass rates in post-requisite courses?Questions 1 and 3 are answered with descriptive statistics. The remaining questions ask whethera metric applied to students taking R-Calc differs from the same metric applied to students takingN-Calc. In all cases the metric is a simple proportion (pass rate or retention rate) so all of thesequestions are

This faculty career model contradicts careerhappiness based on reasonable life choices, particularly those described by the Life CareerRainbow2,3 which defines an arc of life as moving through growth, exploration, establishment,maintenance and disengagement phases of life (see Figure 1).

This may also include an expectation ofweekly tightly-defined problem sets with black-and-white answers, teaching assistant officehours which students are expected to attend only when they have concrete questions, limitedlecture attendance, and a strict curve grading system that implies a limited number of top marks.Another lecture class might involve clickers, expectations of both attendance and participation,teaching assistant support for collaborative work on open-ended problems, etc. Although boththe classes described above are lecture
