Evaluation Report on the Dyersburg State Community College Project: Title III, Strengthening Developing Institutions.
Petry, John R.; McClain, Rosella
During 1908-81, the final year of a 3-year institutional development project, Dyersburg State Community College (DSCC) focused on increasing participation in and the services of its developmental studies program; developing the college's library into a fully functioning learning resources center; and implementing computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in developmental studies and other disciplines. This evaluation report describes and assesses the effectiveness of the project's third-year activities. After introductory material describing the procedures of an external evaluation team and delineating major project emphases for 1980-81, the subsequent sections of the report cover: (1) DSCC's institutional needs assessment efforts; (2) the scope of the project and plans for its continuation; (3) project objectives and success in meeting these objectives; (4) contributions to and of the project; and (5) unmet objectives and project weaknesses. After a section outlining project costs, summary recommendations and conclusions are offered. The bulk of the report consists of appendices providing project personnel job descriptions and announcements; enrollment statistics for 1978 through 1981; student evaluations of the peer-tutoring program, developmental studies courses, and off-campus courses; reading course descriptions; instructions for writing book reviews; copies of educational resources bulletins and promotional brochures; a description of the self-exploratory career center; a recommended media policy; and suggested guidelines for entry into developmental studies courses.
