Comments from Faculty I will be discussing with the leadership team in the [departmental meeting] on 4/14/08 but my initial reaction is that the new method seems to work very well, and for online programs works better than the traditional paper version of the journals. If they bring up any points that I have not thought of I will be back in touch.
