Advice to Baruch College on New Media


If I were hired by Baruch College to use new media the first suggestion I would make would be to create more online classes. It seems as if Baruch is not as big on online classes compared to other CUNY colleges, but since we all know that many students work and have a busy schedule online classes are a must. The second suggestion I would make is more online homeworks. Although many professors are making their students submit homeworks online, some professors still require the paper hand out. Doing homework online is both convenient for the students and the professors. The third things I would suggest are online textbooks. What students want to carry and bring to class their actual paper textbook? By having textbooks online we would be able to print out the chapter we are doing in class and bring the sheets to class instead of having the entire textbook. These are three ideas that Baruch can improve on by using new media.

  1. oh my God, I so agree with you! I was just trying to register for Fall and there was no online classes availble! This is such a shame because online classes teach people how to express their feelings and learn to communicate in groups. In regular classes students don't have such intelligent converstaions, sometimes they leave the class and don't talk at all! I would love if Baruch would offer more online classes options!

  2. I completely agree with everything you mention. Baruch should absolutely add significantly more online classes to its lineup and encourage professors to have the majority of schoolwork to be handled online. Also, there still aren't enough textbooks available in e-book format that can be downloaded, so it would be nice if we could just bring in a laptop or tablet to class and have all the textbooks loaded on there.
