What is NOVA's QEP?

Faculty, staff, and students have been working on preliminary QEP topic proposals. Here is what we are considering:

Service Learning: integrating service projects and classroom learning.

Learner-Centered (21st century) Classrooms: Rethinking how we teach and changing the physical space in which we teach.

Getting Back on Track: How can NOVA help students who are on academic warning or probation?

Increasing College Readiness: Taking college-level classes, preparing for the future, understanding expectations, placement exam issues and more!

Citizenship Across the Curriculum: "we must assure that those who study in our classrooms acquire a basic understanding of the world in which they live and the important place they occupy within it."

Faculty-Student Collaboration: Increasing the opportunities for students and faculty to work together outside of the classroom.

Curriculum-Centered Education: Establishing a repository for course information and being accountable for what we teach.
