Students see clear and direct benefit from Personality Development classes

After a month of relatively low-levels of excitement in the class, the personality development classes have provided positive energy and change. In the recent lessons, students were prepared for the interview, with guidelines and success tips on pre-interview preparation, behavior at the interview and follow-up. As one of the best ways to prepare is to step into the interviewer’s shoes, the exercise at the end involved students interviewing other students. There was a stark improvement in the interviewing abilities of the students, and the students proved to themselves that despite of technical skills or ability, your presentation abilities at the interview table make it a level playing field.
Conversations began this week at a larger BEI level to deal with remedial classes, something very relevant to us given the results of the Excel test. Right now options being considered are allowing students to take final exams again, plus remedial efforts along the way. Considering the highest grade on the Excel test was 86% (pass was 80%), a rescaling of this particular test may be in order.
