Student success (course pass rates, retention and graduation rates) & student perceptions of their classrooms will be analyzed.
Faculty perceptions of the program, their own teaching and how their teaching is perceived by students and colleagues will be analyzed.
Regular opportunities to share data with NMSU leadership can lead to sustained change in how we support teaching & learning and contribute to a vibrant STEM workforce.
