New education techniques, known affectionately as Quality Enhancement Programs (QEP), are developed to maintain the University’s reputation as an innovative and responsive learning environment. With the impending renewal nearing, a Community Engagement QEP, crafted to elevate the student body’s writing and critical thinking skills, will be implemented with a wide array of consequences to follow.
Some major concerns within UHD are the students’ writing and critical thinking skills. Reports indicate that students struggle with grammar and writing mechanics, particularly transfer students from various community/junior colleges with lower standards than UHD. They indicate that one-third to one-half of all UHD students lack the necessary professional writing skills which are in-demand for today’s job market.
