6. Academic Officer in Charge Report
“First, if the study rooms are supposed to have current WPRs, then why is there no organized system in place to ensure a sampling of last year’s WPRs are collected for next year’s cadets?”
“A1 is scanning and digitizing old tests and WPRs to be posted on SharePoint.”
“[B4] had the most CEP certified tutors, and provided a pass for cadets who were CRLA certified and conducted three hours of tutoring in a week.”
“A1 has the \"Geek of the Week\" program in which cadets earn points for academic excellence, tutoring, etc... The cadet with the most points at the end of the week earns a $5 credit to the company fridge fund.”
