Alumni Feedback Welcome to Enhance Student Learning at UH

UH has developed a multi-year Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) to improve student learning— “Reality-based Learning: Transforming the Undergraduate Experience through Research.” The reality-based learning initiative is focused on providing opportunities and resources for integrating research and inquiry-based learning into the undergraduate experience - including more opportunities for students to work on real-world team projects in their courses. Alumni are invited to visit the QEP Feedback site to review the Draft QEP Report and share their feedback during the open comment period: Dec. 20, 2007 – Jan. 18, 2008.

As part of the re-accreditation process, the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools (SACS) requires institutions to develop a Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) related to student learning. The plan provides UH an opportunity to renew its commitment to students and enhance their learning experience. By providing opportunities and resources to support research and inquiry-based learning, UH’s QEP aims to improve student competencies in research ethics, critical thinking, information literacy, and oral and written communication.
