Broadening Horizons

I just came out of our first (hopefully of several) feedback session with the dean of the faculty. I am sincerely amazed of how friendly and approachable the faculty, admin and the dean were to feedback and constructive criticism. Other faculties at UBC would do well to follow their lead in listening what students have to say. For too long have universities maintained a top-down strategy to address change and implement new technologies. This bottom up approach is refreshing and will surely help leverage the student’s input on best teaching practices.
