3. Shayla – The Educational Technology Committee is in the process of formulating a recommendation for the Senate to consider with regards to the use of electronic devices in the classroom. Apparently, there are many professors that are hesitant or outright ban the use of such devices in the classroom. This recommendation is in the planning stages and as soon as a final version is approved, a copy will be provided to SGA.
B. Senators Reports 1. Rachel – Thanks to Shayla, the Earth Day BBQ on MVC was amazing. Couldn’t have done it without her. 2. Mark – Expressed concerns about the new school-wide policy regarding course attempts and accountability of professors to record grades accurately on Blackboard. Daniel explains that professors using Blackboard is great, but charges students with keeping track of their own grades. Mark explained that there are a lot of teachers who don’t make it possible to track their grades by not promptly returning items and suggested coming up with some recourse or suggestion with regards to the new course attempts policy. C. Advisor Report - May 8th (SJC,) May 10th (MVC) “Dunk the Professor” event. Update on election – there has been some uncertainties going on. Dead tie on a position – opening for a run-off and we’re working with IT to get it sorted out. Will keep you posted.
