Advice for Baruch

A piece of advice I would give to Baruch College would be to make it mandatory for professors to implement the use of new media (blogs, wikis, social networking sites, etc.) in all of their classes.  This would help in a number of ways.  A lot of times if students have a question about a particular class, they will e-mail the professor and wait for a response.  Depending on the professor, a response could take anywhere from a few hours to a few days.  Most likely if that student contacted another student, they would've gotten a response much sooner.  I think if classes were forced to somehow "link" up virtually it would make the whole process of interacting a lot smoother.  It would make it easier for students to approach each other if they wouldn't have done so in person.  Also, this would encourage networking, which Baruch advertises about all the time.  Another piece of advice I would have for them is to have some sort of interactive page for each major where students can talk to each other and post materials.  This would be  helpful for both students who are already in a particular major, as well as prospective students who are thinking about majoring in that subject because they could talk to others who are already in it.
