This week I had TEAMs meetings Monday and Wednesday, which allowed me to complete the rough draft of the course redesign. I hope to revise all 18 courses outcomes next week to closer to a final draft. I have decided I am going to pilot an additional course, so in reality I haven't finished the rough draft, but I think I might save that for the spring or following fall semester. It will be mentioned in the proposal, but the timing is off right now.

The strange times have affected so many areas of the college, so when I state this is should not be construed as complaining. Unfortunately the budget has been delayed so the plans for having the DAT EA start on July 1,2020 to handle advising so I could concentrate on sabbatical and other things has fallen through. I won't leave the students hanging, so I have decided to open 16 half hour advising (office hour) slots up beginning next week. I don't believe I will fill them all, but I want current and prospective students to have the option. I have also decided to make appointments in setmore to keep track of responding to student email request (advising and general information). After doing this a few times already this summer, I realized with research (opening multiple screens to get relevant information) I am easily spending 30 minutes per request. As you can see from my blogs, even when I try to be general it seems to get very detailed. I am very confident that the redesign will alleviate a lot of the minutiae that is involved with the current configuration.
