Summer school is a very busy time on campus for universities like Clayton State. For many of our students, the nine weeks from May 27th until July 28th represent a chance to get ahead of the trajectory toward graduation. For others, they are a chance to take a second shot at a decent grade in statistics. Whatever the initial stimulus, my job is to make sure the motivation stays high.
This section of BUSA 3101 Business Statistics filled up on the first day of preregistration back in April to the 40-student capacity of the classroom. Later, the assigned room was changed to allow for additional students. As of this evening, registration stands at 47. It takes an extraordinary effort to provide each student with the attention required for even the least complicated survey course; this would seem to be a challenge of a different magnitude for a course requiring the development of new skills as well as knowledge. Fortunately, I have no social life. This will work.
I want to make a record of this class from beginning to end - what works and what does not, what kinds of results we get. Perhaps my students will find this blog useful too.
