Advice

I think Baruch would benefit greatly if the school were introduced to new ways to use new media, especially to help improve student's study habits. For example, lets say you know you have a macro economics test coming up, and you just don't understand anything about a chapter you're about to be tested on. This student would benefit from a social media study page. If Baruch had a social media website that allowed students to share there knowledge about a topic, students would be open to more ways of learning about a subject. There could be blogs and comments posted by students who have already taken the class or understand the subject really well. It would need to be organized by tags on each post for the subject, class number, and topic. This way, when you know exactly what you don't understand, you can search your classmates explanations through the tags. 
However, there is the problem of, "How are we going to get these students to share their knowledge?" Well, it could be offered as extra credit for the class they are in, and if they do it well and correctly, they shall receive full credit.

  1. This is a great idea that would benefit the students greatly. Peer to peer studying and help is better than studying alone. With the use of social media, a student can get help from another who is more knowledgeable in that topic and has the capacity to help understand it. A site like blackboard isn't exactly meant for peer to peer help because of the inconvenient format and lack of notifications.
