repeated for the second semester only for QEP students; students in the non-QEP group will choose classes in the normal fashion in consultation with their assigned advisor. Since their number is relatively small, they and their performance will be tracked individually. Assessments of the three AWA Educational Goals will be conducted throughout the academic year of the pilot study on members of both groups and the results analyzed in May of 2009 by the newly formed Academics with Attitude Implementation Committee. The Implementation Committee will plan corrections and implement them with the launch of the Academics with Attitude summer pilot project in June, 2009. The summary action plan for the 2008-2009 pilot project is outlined in Appendix IV.
The summary of the action plan for the (non-pilot) KSU QEP, Academics with Attitude: Building the Foundation for Student Success, follows in Table 9. These actions would be repeated for subsequent years unless indicated.
