English Department Nearly Doubles Advising Score

Movin' On Up

Administrators in the English Department ascribe their department's success with their recent efforts to improve the program.

Last spring, English department members said they expected very different results on this survey since they implemented reforms since the 1997 survey, including making a senior faculty member director of undergraduate studies.

"I think the improved ratings probably result chiefly from the fact that we have more fully adjusted to and fine-tuned the reorganization of our

undergraduate program," Buell said.

This year, the department made another significant change assigning each concentrator a permanent faculty adviser. Buell said he is optimistic that student satisfaction with the advising system will continue.

Bigger Isn't Better

However, unlike the English Department, most large concentrations did not rate so well on the survey.
