What have we learned about course cutting? There isn't much to it, but there are some key elements to it.
Firstly, The economy is going downhill and SLCC is suffering quite a bit. They are running out of money and need to find some places they can discard to save more money. Secondly, because they need to cut expenses they want to find the easiest and less damaging places to do it. Thirdly, the best option is to cut unwanted classes so that they may focus on the classes that count.
For those reading this, the best course of action would be to get involved. The only way to let the administration know the students are concerned about this subject is by showing how much we actually care about it. We should protest against classes that we want being cut and make our opinions heard. Maybe try to get a vote in somewhere. After all, we are the ones who are going to take the blow, the administration doesn't have much to do with us losing classes. We should try to get involved and see what we can do to help.
If you're going to comment my blog, know that I feel like I'm repeating myself in these blogs. Does anyone have any other outlooks on this subject? Why they are cutting courses, or your opinions on what solutions you might have. I'd appreciate another outlook!

It seems like they could consolidate classes a little bit more before cutting them. If they rearranged class times they could fit the same amount of courses in, but cut the number of classes themselves.
ReplyDeleteI tell you what, if you start the petition I will sign it! Like you said the only way to get things done is to take action!
ReplyDeleteI also wanted to respond to your comment. I totally agree there should be some sort of guided meditation class, that would help you to center yourself and see what you are supposed to accomplish in life. And what career you should have! Thanks for your input that is a good idea.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say that if you started a petition I would sign it as well...I understand that they need to make some cuts but I think it's really terrible to take it out on education-education is so important!
