Student Success Meeting
The Geeks Squad held a meeting at Higher College of technology to discuss some of the issues concerning students success. I was the chairman of this meeting. I believe the meeting went over all of the possible problems the students might face during their studies at the college. It was a successful meeting. We prepared well for it. We had a good feedback from the students who were part in our survey which was conducted by Saif. This survey included good number of students and the outcome of that survey was amazing. We discovered some of the problems that are affecting the students and their marks. During the meeting everything went according to my plan and my team was excited and they were trying their best to come up with the best solution and suggestion for the problems we are discussing. Saif suggestion that we make extra English classes for those who are weak in English whiles Talal suggested that the teachers use easier methods to make the students understand the subjects more. On the other hand Saeed suggested that a new methods of teaching should be implanted. Many suggestions were made by my team and we decided to take these to the student council. Over all the meeting came up with many solutions for most of the problems that the students themselves spoke of. In my opinion my team and I did great, I didn’t expect to get so many feedbacks from them at the start. We decide to meet up again after a month from now.
