Hi again,

If anyone had trouble viewing the linked google sheet, it should now be working. I'm not sure what happened but it should now be fixed. If you are still having trouble viewing it please let me know.

Best,

Subject: Report from Meeting with Director of Computing Science

Good evening Everyone,

During the last week of September I emailed you all asking for questions and suggestions that I along with a panel of undergraduates would bring to a meeting with the Director of Computing Science, Dr. Mohamed Hefeeda. This email is a my promised follow up to provide you a report.

Below is a link to a google sheet which contains all the questions and suggestions that were brought to the meeting and which the Director provided feedback on. The topics have been grouped by similar theme in the questions and suggestion, for example quality of education. In the rightmost column you will find summary notes of the Directors feedback. Not all topics were touched on during the meeting due to time limits however everything has been read by the Director.

Google sheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XduMccsKDh590yaAgcCLNtEpDliMeY_WeSnlhJc-o6k/edit?usp=sharing

I encourage you all to carefully read through all the feedback.

This meeting between the CSSS President and representative will continue to happen once per semester for the foreseeable future and the linked google sheet will act as a record of all meetings. The google sheet will be updated for every time this meeting happens. I will continue to improve the process(es) for collecting the questions, suggestions, and feedback for the future meetings. If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Best,

VJ
