Provide an additional workstation at the front of BAS S306. The current workstation is located at the back of the classroom and it works very well when teaching computer applications. It does not work well for conventional lectures and presentations. Neither students nor instructors like the instructor lecturing from the back of the classroom or students making presentations from the back of the classroom. Since our courses typically involve lecture, computer applications, and student presentations, student learning can be enhanced through the addition of a workstation at the front of the classroom. Courses taught in this classroom primarily include MGMT, MKT, ENGL, CIS, ECON, and FIN. Instead of a complete duplicate instructor workstation, we would only need the cabinet, an additional PC, an additional AMX charger, computer interfacing/cables, installation, labor, and AMX programming. We also request that the Digital Document Camera (visual presenter) be moved from the rear workstation to the front workstation. This classroom will be taken off “restricted room status” and will be an open classroom for university use with Management/Marketing and Economics/Finance having first priority use of the room. Expectations are that this room will be used to capacity each semester and that the addition of the faculty workstation at the front of the room will make the room much more compatible with teaching approaches.
