The Curriculum Committee Wants to Know...

In Your Own Words, How Are We Doing So Far This Year?

The OLLI Curriculum Committee invites your comments on the quality of OLLI courses, for example, whether courses you've taken during Fall and Winter terms presented information in a well-organized way; covered the material as described in the catalog; included materials that enhanced the effectiveness of the course - or any other aspect of the OLLI curriculum (other than facilities, over which the Curriculum Committee has no direct control). Specific examples would be the most helpful. Your feedback will be confidential and used only to determine how to improve the quality of OLLI courses. Click on link below to comment.

 

TELL US WHAT YOU THINK

 

Note: OLLI members that are also instructors, please respond from your experience as an OLLI student. We will be polling you separately about your instructor experience..
