Hi All,
We at Umpqua Community College in beautiful Roseburg, Oregon are
looking for some help. We are requiring all faculty who apply for
funding from our Grant, include a justification that specifically
addresses how the course revision, course creation, etc. will further
our grant goals and objectives. We need to incorporate a requirement
to
measure success into those justifications and haven't found a smooth way
to do so for those things like equipment purchases or attendance at a
workshop. Do any of you have application forms that would address
the
issue of quantitatively measuring student success (and retention) on
your faculty application forms? Thank-you in advance for all of your
input.
We welcome your looking at our web page... http://www.title3.net/ and
if you are interested in checking out the funding request forms, you may
fill out a (test) request by following the directions and using "test"
as the name of the requestor. If you have feedback, we welcome that
as
well. We also welcome suggestions or forms that you have created
for
your Title III grant.
Many thanx,
Lynn Meador,
Title III Coordinator
