Meeting Report

Our meeting was about changing the HCT system from a semester system to a credit system. This meeting had five items and was at 8:30 on 17th March in J33. The whole group attended J33 on time and the meeting was regular.

The chair man Osama opened the meeting, and introduced the subjects and allocated each item for two minute because of the Lack of time. The duration of the meeting was 15 minutes only and then he asked Jaber to explain the graph which he gave it to us. Then we talked about each item and started with the time table. The time section and course section got agreement but the weekend lessons saw different opinions. Later the group moved to the second item which was courses and the whole group agreed with students’ right to drop courses but did not about availability. In addition, the group talked about attendance, in particular missed classes and we placed conditions being if students provide a reasonable excuse. A further point was English courses and the group agreed with this item and the points, and related some answers to the survey conducted among the college. This showed that of the 50 people interview in a cross- section of students and Faculty, around 80% was in favor of a change to a credit system. Finally the meeting moved to last item, which was summer courses and discussed the benefit of summer courses and agree on this item.

In addition this meeting saw different opinions expressed on each item, and everyone freely offered a range of points of view for consideration. Moreover one of the groups based the Emiratis Student and this was not acceptable. However, it would have been better if we had more time as we discussed some points rather quickly.
