Interviews Day 3

Today we interviewed several teachers and faculty members with one goal, to find out what there problems are. Surprisingly, we received very good input from most of our interviewees.

The first person we interviewed was Mr. Mosher. Some of the problems that concerned him was the old wiring in the building contributing to poor broadcast connections sometimes. He was also concerned with the actual amount of students even watching the broadcast because there is no way they know. Students may be doing other things and homeroom teachers might not even turn on the television.

The second person we interviews was Kumu Kawika from the SPC. The problem that concerned him was the floor plan and amount of space given in SPC. He believes that the office area that the students work in shouldn't be cut off from everyone else and more open. Also if the office was moved to the corner of the room instead of the middle, it would add much more space to the room.

After that we decided to visit the PRC and ask them if they had any problems that we could find a possible solution to. Some of issues they suggested were laptop care, specifically the unexcused laptop screen cracking, PRC advertisement, and better use of all the space they have in the PRC.

We also decided to interview Mrs. Martin who we thought could provide us with many problems around the school given her position on campus.  Some of the problems that concerned her around campus were most maintenance problems around campus such as the poor PA system, various leaks around campus, and broken doors/windows. In addition, parking also seemed like a very big problem that mostly everyone is facing.



We also did some supplementary student interviews, specially from the athletes. One of the problems they offered were parking problems during athletic events.

  1. Well you guys do have some great problems to solve such as the wiring issue that is totally physics related, maintenance problems, and fixing up rooms which can be applied to physics (moving stuff, measuring, scaling, logic, etc.). You guys are definitely on a roll and I hope you guys can decide on which one you want to tackle.
