Advice to Baruch College

An advice to improve Baruch College by using new media is definitely try to offer more online classes for students. It would be extremely helpful especially for those who work and study full time. Baruch has a very limited amount of online classes. Next to that, we should try to improve Blackboard in terms of communication and social networking. It seems that Baruch College do not offer many options for students to interact with Professors. If Baruch students can login to a certain web page where discussions can be taken place at ease where one can provide feedbacks and suggestions, they will maintain a better learning and networking environment. I see that Baruch have been adapting Facebook to create groups such as the Student Government page, but not many are aware of their pages, so maybe Baruch can use new media to promote their pages and even try to adapt other varieties of communication tools such as Twitter to update students with current events.

  1. That's a great idea. That is a commute school, and some people live far away from school. That will be great that if school can set up a online site to let students communicate together at home. For example, a school online community that people can chat, post questions, and look for helps.

  2. Wow. I agree with your thinking of improving Baruch College by using new media to offer more online classes for students. Some students may be tired of in-class study. But there will be a lot of side effects so that Baruch can't afford it.

  3. I agree!!! Baruch should offer more online classes. More part time student like me can use online classes to graduate sooner. Very good idea and hope Baruch will consider more online classes to help out part time students.
