More Planning for the Fall Semester

We had a reference meeting for about an hour to make some plans for the new semester. We are enhancing our training of freshman taking the English Composition course. They will be taking 3 Research Roadmap classes given by our staff. David and Heather will be giving most of them since their experise is in the humanities. I contacted Professor Taha Marhaba and arranged to teach his class in Environmental Engineering as I have done for many years. It is always frustrating when students don't ask questions. Are they totally disinterested? Do they understand the materials and not need the lecture? Is the lecture over their heads?
