Course Offering Survey – Thank You

Wednesday, March 23rd, 2011

Students:  Thank you for your input!

Thank you for taking time to complete the Course Offering Survey!  We received 306 completed surveys yielding a 26.7% completion rate.  The results provided very useful information that has already made an impact for the Fall 2011 course schedule.

The Fall 2011 schedule includes many courses being offered on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday which were indicated in the course offering survey as being the most preferred days to take courses.  The majority of you indicated that the best times for courses were between 10:00 am-12:00 pm followed by 12:00 pm-3:00 pm.  The majority of Fall 2011 courses are offered between 10:00 am and 3:00 pm.  While the bulk of Fall 2011 courses are offered during these hours, there are still courses offered in the evening along with online courses.  In response to your feedback, we will also offer foreign languages.  Fall 2011 will be the first semester that Elementary Spanish I will be offered followed by Elementary Spanish II in Spring 2012 semester.

Many of you indicated that you are interested in taking a hybrid course.  Hybrid courses are taught partially in the classroom and partially online.  After speaking with Dan Hoppe, Director of Distance Education, the first hybrid course will be offered in Summer 2011 with more hybrid courses to follow in Fall 2011.

71% of you indicated that you did not have security concerns when taking an evening course.  We are glad that you feel safe and secure at Mercy College!  If you do have any security concerns, always remember you can reach security at 419-251-1463.

You also indicated several areas of the College you would like to have extended hours.  Be attentive for emails and notices from College departments regarding future changes in their hours of operation.

We appreciate your input and are always open to your thoughts and ideas concerning courses offered at Mercy College.  As Mercy College expands programming, expect to see new and exciting changes to future course offerings and schedules.  Thank you again for completing the Course Offering Survey!
