Following are more comments on the Succeeding With Students 
learning exercise by those 
who participated in "test runs" of the exercise:

"There are pluses and minuses. It's a lot of time and money 
plus I expect it's costing a 
couple hundred thousand dollars to develop. I didn't learn a 
lot of new information, but it 
was nice to see a lot of the information together. If the 
notion is we're all supposed to tie 
together as one big team, this might be a start." - Carl 
Mize, associate professor, forestry

"It was fun. We talked a lot about life-long learning, people 
changing careers five to eight 
times, the huge audience for adult learners and what Iowa 
State could do to be competitive 
and provide educational opportunities for people changing 
careers. I was appalled about 
how little I knew about where funds come from and how they 
are spent." - Linda 
Hutchison, manager, Computation Center

"It addresses some very important issues. Frequently, while 
we may know pieces of the 
pie, we don't really get the whole thing put together. I 
found it interesting to see how 
different groups view some of the same issues. As we talk 
about a coordinated institutional 
approach, we each have to understand where others are coming 
from, how they view the 
problems and solutions." - Paul Lasley, professor, sociology
