Survey Responses: What Do You Know About the Learning Commons?

 


We conducted a survey about students' knowledge of the Learning Commons to gain feedback and suggestions for the future. We would love to continue hearing students' feedback, so feel free to fill out the survey if you haven't yet!

Most Commonly Used Resources

1. Writing Center
2. Tutoring
3. Supplemental Instruction
4. Test Proctoring
5. TRIO/AAP
6. Peer-To-Peer Academic Support Space
7. LC Study Hall

Have These Resources Helped You?

"Yes, these resources have made it so my time here at Coe was possible, without their help I would not have been able to attend this school and be passing.”

“Yes, they have helped tremendously!”

“Yes, specifically the writing center in my FYS class.”

Every student who responded said "yes" in some form. Many responders mentioned specific resources that have been the most help to them such as tutoring, the writing center, and test proctoring.

Suggestions For Additional Resources/Support

Students offered up these suggestions in the survey:

1. "More times for SI, possibly structural type SI's for assistance with learning and how to do things like fill out a lab journal for those who may be lost in the course."

2. "Professor, staff, or just student hours on a monthly basis (sort of like a long night against procrastination)."

3. "Professors in the library"

4. "It would be helpful to have a folder of organizational templates such as monthly calendars, assignment checklists, and so on. That way students have easy access to helpful academic planning materials."

Questions About the Learning Commons

What is the Learning Commons "Study Hall"?

This is a new program we are trying out this semester. On Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30-5pm, the library classroom is open for study to have a place where they can be held accountable to study. Each session, students work until 4pm then a Learning Commons staff member leads a 15-20 minute study break. These breaks change each session and include activities such as games, meditation, and crafts. After the break, students work until 5pm.
