College Education in Ontario The most common complaint from students, in addition to concerns about money and the affordability of their education, has to do with the quality of contact time with professors and teachers. This must be addressed. If students feel that they come and go and no one cares, something is out of balance. A commitment to excellence includes a commitment to an outstanding student experience. – Bob Rae, reporting in Ontario: A Leader in Learning 2005, as quoted in the OPSEU College Faculty Report on Education in Ontario Colleges (2014) Academic Requirements Here are the basic things you must know to get credit in the courses that I teach.
