Difficulties

• Severe Air conditioning problems in building 7,
  Library, and Cafeteria. We had to shift classes
  and labs from building 7 to other locations.
• Delay in receiving EE 201 textbooks for about 3
  weeks. Photocopies of the first few chapters were
  given to the students.

14
Recommendations

• Faculty on teaching assignment should not
  participate in any other assignment (e.g.
  admission committee, conference attendance)
• Faculty on British Council scholarship or working
  at Aramco during summer should not participate in
  any other assignment.
• Assignments of a faculty member must not conflict
  in time. Input of Summer Director should be
  required for approval.
• Scheduling of classes on Thursdays should be
  avoided particularly in Summer.

15
Recommendations (contd.)

• Departments should be more selective in
  course/instructor assignment. Avoid
• Low enrollment courses.
• Faculty whose section history has a high drop
  rate.
• Priority in teaching assignment should be to
  those who are known to be excellent.
• Air-conditioning maintenance of academic
  buildings should be scheduled in Winter. If
  problems are expected to arise, the registrar
  should be informed.
• Better coordination between purchasing
  department, bookstore, and academic departments
  is required.
