Rather than insisting that every lecturer position must remain secure in an all-or-nothing stance, the report suggests that preserving the integrity of education that writing and language requirements ensure should be the chief priority, and that in order to maintain the feasibility of these programs, new ways of increasing instructional efficiency and maximizing resources should be considered. Faced with the possibility that these programs might be cut entirely, what alternative would you propose?<br /><br />With regard to the additional burden these suggestions might place on undergraduates: After the mid-year fee increases, undergraduates enrolled in a normal course load (45 units/year) are paying roughly $216 per unit in 09-10. The summer fees are only very slightly higher, at $235 per unit ($229 per unit plus a $6 or $7 IEI fee). This is unfortunate, but not a huge discrepancy - and offering more language teaching during the summer term might both help to bring the summer term fees down and allow students the opportunity to take the language of their choice. Students who are unable to attend class over the summer would still have the option of taking languages during the year, which should not be a problem if they don't want to take Spanish or Chinese. Perhaps this might help our undergraduates expand their horizons? That is the point of the language requirement, isn't it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019815289138218075.post-33402814382279054312010-02-04T10:28:44.889-08:002010-02-04T10:28:44.889-08:00As three first-year students here at UCLA, we feel...As three first-year students here at UCLA, we feel that becoming an online university would be insulting to our education. We came to UCLA because it is prestigious and widely-known for its superior education. If this is a "research" university, then why are we offering classes that attempt to replace professors with the Internet? Research cannot be done solely over the Internet. Some disciplines like psychology requires human interaction.<br /><br /><br />It's not fair to the "lecturers" or the students to be forced into summer classes when we have to pay extra while the "lecturers" are being paid less.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019815289138218075.post-17386891269479619762010-02-04T10:23:39.320-08:002010-02-04T10:23:39.320-08:00I'm afraid the current measures being taken wi...I'm afraid the current measures being taken will not just negatively affect the studnet and teacher populationt today, but also cause further negative repercussions on the schools' reputations in the future. Rather than attempting to abandon the traditional way of teaching in classrooms and implementing online courses that already ahve een proven to be ineffective, they should take responsibility in fixing the mess created. Assuming school smaintain their untis requirements, it becomes close to impossible for students to graduate on time without taking extra classes during the summer. If they are already paying for the other 3 quarters, why would they need to pay so much more just to graduate?NICK AND DIANA SAYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019815289138218075.post-78992089734039086332010-02-04T10:22:53.136-08:002010-02-04T10:22:53.136-08:00The idea of firing lecturers makes me question the...The idea of firing lecturers makes me question the quality of education UCLA wants to provide for its students.

Summer classes would cost more money; money that they don't have, especially during this economic crisis. This report is trying to mediate the current budget crisis by cutting back on lecturers in the humanities in an attempt to save money, but it is not acknowledging the money students would have to pay to attend summer classes. Furthermore, students choose to take classes in the summer to graduate early, and this change may affect that goal. If anything it would delay their graduation because it would restrict their class choices during the school year. Not to forget to mention that college is a time of exploration and the shift to online classes will limit the opportunities to explore.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2019815289138218075.post-89976206143911693052010-02-04T10:21:41.613-08:002010-02-04T10:21:41.613-08:00It is shocking to know that a task force has been ...It is shocking to know that a task force has been trying to change the way students at UCLA learn.

Students will not get the quality education they were expecting and surely UCLA will not be perceived the same way. <br />It would be devastating if the task force's proposed plans follow through.

It is inconvenient for students because it is expensive and some students do not live in California so they will not be able to return home for the summer. Because the students will not be able to return home they will have to pay for housing over the break. Students already have to deal with the tuition increase.It is also unfair for students to be required to stay over the summer to take classes that they pay for to take during the fall, winter, and spring quarters. The lecturers that the school wil hire back will only be working part time which means a lower salary and no benefits.

I think we could develop ways to creatively use online components, not as replacements but as extensions of current practice. But again, that is not a cost cutting measure. In addition, any growth in online teaching (which will undoubtedly utilize adjuncts) should include an affirmative plan to pay adjuncts good salaries/benefits and provide job security.Toby Higbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07002715043189165434noreply@blogger.com
