EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Pursuant to Goal 1 of the FSU Strategic Plan: Empower faculty and students to achieve
high levels of teaching and learning, Year 1 -- Action Step 2, the Office or Institutional
Research was tasked to design and conduct a survey that would provide baseline
measures for various aspects of classroom environments on our campuses.
The use of the service Surveymonkey.org was chosen to facilitate this online survey. 916
initial and follow up emails to all full-time and part-time faculty, active during the Fall
2006 semester, were processed with each containing a brief description of the request for
participation and the web link to the online survey. 248 individuals responded to the
online survey (a response rate of just over 27%).

When grouping responses by employment status code, part-time faculty consistently
across all items gave a significantly higher rating than full-time faculty.
When grouping responses by campus code, Non-Fairmont/Main campus [aggregated]
classrooms consistently across all items received a significantly higher rating than Main
Campus classrooms.
When grouping responses by building code [note that all Non-Fairmont classrooms were
coded into the “Other” category for the statistical testing], all 15 survey items showed
significant difference in the mean and ranking of their ratings. In the post hoc analysis,
Wallman Hall, Hardway Hall, and Feaster Center generally exhibited the lower ratings,
while Colebank Hall, the Education Building, and the Other category generally rated
higher.
The following buildings by item show 25% or higher, less than satisfactory ratings:

When grouping responses by room type code, a significant difference in ratings were
found in 10 of the 15 main survey items; only items
Lighting Levels
Acoustics
Available Seating
Seating Style & Arrangement
Boards & Materials
exhibited no statistically significant difference in the ratings by room type. From this
latter group, only item Boards & Materials appeared in the lower aggregate ratings list.
Descriptive statistics and frequencies were also computed for individual classrooms
[Building and Room], but no additional analyses were performed due to the small sample
size relative to each room [ranging from n=1 to n=8, but generally less than 4 ratings per
class room].
Appendix A of the full report contains the statistical analyses [frequencies, descriptive
statistics]; Crosstabs, chi-square, ANOVA, and the various appropriate non-parametric
tests of the various survey items are available as separate reports.
Respondent’s comments can be found in their entirety in Appendix B of the full report.

OVERVIEW
Pursuant to Goal 1 of the FSU Strategic Plan: Empower faculty and students to achieve
high levels of teaching and learning, Year 1 -- Action Step 2, the Office or Institutional
Research was tasked to design and conduct a survey that would provide baseline
measures for various aspects of classroom environments on our campuses.
It is expected that this survey [modified appropriately to fit the current environment at
that time] will repeated at regular intervals going forward to determine longitudinal
trends.
METHODOLOGY
The survey instrument utilized was designed in collaboration with several selected
individuals on campus, tested and evaluated by a second group of selected individuals on
campus, and then conducted during the month of December 2006. This survey contains
some items that were utilized at Rutgers University with the appropriate permission
obtained via correspondence.
The use of the service Surveymonkey.org was chosen to facilitate the online survey. 916
initial and follow up emails to all full-time and part-time faculty (active during the Fall
2006 semester) were processed with each containing a brief description of the request for
participation and the web link to the online survey. 248 individuals responded to the
online survey (a response rate of just over 27%).
Appendix A contains the statistical analyses [frequencies, descriptive statistics];
Crosstabs, chi-square, ANOVA with Post Hoc analysis, and the various appropriate non-
parametric tests of the various survey items are available as separate reports.
Respondent’s comments can be found in their entirety in Appendix B of the full report.
A view of the entire survey instrument is available in Appendix C of that report.
An individual faculty member could offer responses to a maximum of four classrooms
that they had utilized during the current semester;
81 faculty chose to evaluate only 1 classroom
56 faculty chose to evaluate 2 classrooms
31 faculty chose to evaluate 3 classrooms
42 faculty chose to evaluate 4 classrooms
A total of 464 classroom ratings were offered with full or partial responses via the main
15 items of the survey. A 5-level Likert Scale [1 – Very Poor to 5 – Excellent] was
utilized to rate each of the main survey items with the exception of item 15, which used a
3 level scale. A variety of parametric and non-parametric statistical methods were
utilized for the analysis of the main survey items, grouped by various demographic
categories and the geographical location of the classroom.
- 7 -
Instrument item 16 was a question to determine if generally a faculty member’s teaching
methods were influenced by the type of classroom that they were utilizing.
Instrument item 17 was an open-ended comment area for supplying anecdotal
information that the respondent wished to offer. Appendix B contains the entire list of
comments.

Appendix B: Comments
In response to question number 6, the classrooms have a sufficient number of chairs but there
are so many chairs there is not sufficient room for faculty to walk around to help students or for
students to move chairs and work together on collaborative activities.
The white board in room 203 was cleaned with something that makes it very difficult to erase
the board now. The instructor computer is room 208 is so slow, it is worthless. Lastly, PLEASE
CLEAN THE WINDOWS IN JAYNES HALL. You cannot see out of them because they are
covered in dirt and mud from all of the construction!
Access to the Internet is crucial to instruction in visual art. The Internet is most effective when
examples become part of the dialogue of daily instruction. Often computer labs and multimedia
rooms are unavailable when students need to see examples. The problem may be solved by
providing carts with equipment, however -- we must deal with skylights and few outlets.
Additionally, there is no blackboard space in room 401 -- the drawing studio -- and display
space is extremely limited for the number of students who have classes in that room. Very little
storage exists in any of the studios, which greatly limits the size of projects that can be
accomplished. There are other issues of ventilation of classrooms, terribly irregular heating,
and either blocked or inaccessible fire escapes in some of the studios. Finally -- the fire alarm is
not loud enough to be heard in the center area of the fourth floor of Wallman Hall. Students
frequently think that it is a saw running and ignore it.
I teach hands on instruction classes.....court activity..hand ball, tennis, golf, etc.
I hate whiteboards...... what ever is wrong with plain old chalk boards???
# 16 to some extent if you cannot plan certain activities that depend on technology or perhaps
the location and height of the chalkboard.
This classroom is currently located adjacent to the ballroom. It is difficult to administer tests,
conduct lectures and evaluate student presentations with music blasting next door. However, I
understand that we are in temporary housing and have become acceptable to our current
conditions. We have three computers in the classroom and use the computer labs down the
hall if we need the use of technology. Not really a problem. Thanks
Multi media podiums with a laptop computer installed are very badly needed. The heating and
cooling system is unreliable.
This needs to be a SMART classroom as soon as possible.
At Pruntytown there is no access to Powerpoint or DVD player. Room is poorly lighted and
acoustics are terrible.
At the beginning of the survey, the Information Systems department was omitted, so I checked
Computer Science, Math... for the department within the School of Business. Classroom
seating layout is the major deficiency in both of my classrooms.
My students are still questioning what the lab fee they are forced to pay each semester is being
used for. I am unable to answer this question even after teaching at Fairmont for 12 years.
The 4th classroom in the survey is in hanger B which was never finished. No walls, no
ceiling,no multi-media, inadequate lighting. etc
The Computers are inadequate. They work too slowly and do not have the appropriate
software.
WH 321 is a temporary arrangement until the new building is done.
The projector systems installed in the rooms is less than adequate they must be going to the
lowest bidder without consideration for projection quality. The colors projected are poor at best.
Also turnaround time on broken equipment is very bad. the projector in room 302 HHH has
been gone for the majority of the semester.
Room 304 works well as a classroom (aside from the pillars that are in the middle of the room
and the fact that every time it rains the greenhouse windows leak and it rains in our classroom
on the chalkboard trays and the lack of heat and air control). Room 101 is retrofitted for a
computer lab and has some issues. The computers are slow and sometimes don't work. There
is no place for materials if one is using the Proxima. The room is hot and has gas smells that
- 63 -
no one seems to be able to get rid of.
I physically moved my class from Jaynes Hall 310 to 321-B Turley Center because of the need
for a computer lab.
The smart classroom would be very nice if it worked consistently. Lectures are often late
getting started because of technical difficulties. This causes frustration for both faculty and
students and decreased learning for the students. In addition, technical difficulties often disrupt
the class once started and inhibit the flow of information. Problems are constantly reported to
the appropriate persons, and though patch jobs are done quickly, the basic problem remains.
Our nursing laboratory space is inadequate for the number of students that we now have, and
the nursing technology utilized in the lab is outdated. Because of limited classroom space and
the need to transmit classes, our labs are often used for lecture. There is not enough seating in
our labs to accommodate lecture. Also, the technology needed for a well rounded learning
experience is difficult to place in the lab.
Both classrooms function very well. Room 320 could use more technology equipment.
Particularly need seminar rooms for use by upper division (4000 and graduate level courses).
HH 001 is basically a utilities room used as the FSU pottery studio. The room in that function
is capable of handling 10 students while class sizes are as high as 20. General Access to the
building is poor with no direct access to or from Hunt Haught Hall. The room does not meet
any ADA standards and does not meet OSHA or NIOSH requirements for ventilation and
materials storage. Lighting is poor. The studio is not served by the custodial staff so
Faculty and students regularly clean the facility take out the garbage and shovel the snow.
The Feaster Center is a disaster for teaching. While trying to conduct a class, dance instruction
with loud music was playing and people were lifting weights in another room. No windows and
poor ventilation.
Chalkboards cannot be erased adequately. Room 208 only has a VCR which should be
replaced by a combination DVD/VCR.
Thanks for creating such an easy, user-friendly survey! If there could be a good supply of
chalk and dry erase markers, that would be wonderful.
My role at FS is not faculty, but advisor. The advising conditions in the Advising Office are
substandard at best. There is absolutely no privacy for students as we discuss their grades
and other personal matters. The room is frequently polluted with exhaust from parked, running
trucks and smoke from smokers standing on the sidewalk. There is no barrier to sound from
the outside and from the inside, which makes it difficult for me to hear and to be heard by
people at my desk or on the phone. I would compare the situation to running beef through the
stock yards. Students cannot feel that we are giving them the personal attention that we should
be giving them. The only reason that the student could feel good about the advising process is
that the advisors are excellent and care about the students.
The student exit evaluations have identified that the quality of the media in these two rooms
have been detrimental to their learning.
While the institution's emphasis on the availability of technology is understandable, some of us
still do things 'the old fashioned way'. I would appreciate the availability of a large lecture
space in Wallman Hall that did not have tiered seating. This would facilitate breaking up large
classes for small group work. I also much prefer chalkboards to the dry erase boards that were
installed in Wallman Hall without consulting the faculty as to our preference.
Our situation within our veterinary technology program is in desperate need of facilities. Our
hands are tied behind our backs and this keeps us limited on growth and expansion of the
program. If we had proper facilities we could triple our enrollment. We are up for an
accreditation site visit in March of 2007 and we are Very Concerned about our facilities. Some
of the ceilings are water damaged. The outlets in room 103 are not working properly. The
space is entirely to small for the type of program that we have. The USDA changes the
formulas on the space sizes required constantly for the animals which could become a major
problem at any time. I feel if we don't upgrade our current facilities or receive a new building we
may loose our accreditation. The field of veterinary technology is growing rapidly and with the
proper facility we could grow rapidly.

Overall, the classrooms are adequate to conduct learning.
Probably the major problem with most of classrooms in the Hardway Building is the lack of
appropriate air conditioning. This is particularly problematic on the top floor rooms during the
afternoon (and when the class contains a large number of students). In addition, I have had
students complain of their allergies and asthma acting-up when they spend time in certain
rooms in this building.
It would be nice to have access to the remote controllers for the DVD players. I had no problem
in Hardway Hall, but for the classrooms on the 3rd floor of Jaynes was a different story. I was
told that they didn't know what went with what and the batteries were probably dead.
For a school of education, I think the classrooms need to model state of the art classrooms.
The quality of those green chalkboards are terrible as are the boards in Jaynes Hall. There is
no access to chalk, erasers or dry erase markers. The classrooms in the education building
need to model elementary classrooms - whiteboards, bulletin boards, supplies, manipulatives -
etc. I teach developmental math in Jaynes hall and those that have the old black or green
boards are terrible to use. One classroom does have a white grid and whiteboards but they
need those holders for dry erase markers and erasers. Individual student response boards like
Communicators would be great to have in the school of education to model formative
assessment as well as teach with.
The walls of our building shed a layer of cement dust and white paint all over our musical
instruments constantly. We have had water damage to instruments from water dripping from
ceilings. Our studios and classrooms have no windows. The temperature control in the
building is fluctuating so much such that the instruments are under constant duress and the
pianos cannot stay in tune. I teach in a piano studio where I can hear clarinet and sax lessons
next door and trumpet lessons on the opposite wall clear as day, plus the large ensemble room
down the hall blaring whatever they are blaring coming straight through the door. One
classroom I teach in has wires all over the floor because there are no facilities provided to
cover them. One classroom I teach in has no computer or technological equipment of any kind.
That classroom has multiple expensive musical instruments that are in cabinets which have
locks and doors that are broken. We have put in numerous maintenance requests to get them
fixed and they have gone unanswered. One of those instruments was stolen this semester, but
we have no other place to store them more securely. I have fifteen students in a technology
class next semester and only one complete workstation for them to do their assignments on,
with no printer in that room. Our ensemble room where we have recitals is directly below the
theater shop, so we will have buzz-saws during choir rehearsals, banging during our recitals,
etc. Our large ensembles have no designated appropriate acoustical space to perform on
campus. Colebank gymnasium and Wallman Hall Theater are acoustical nightmares and we
do not always have access to those spaces to perform in.
Other than WH321, we have no media equipment and chalkboards are unusable. It is a real
hindrance to teaching.
The Feaster Center classrooms do not have adequate dividers to keep the noise levels at a
minimum.
This location certainly is an improvement over room 310 Hardway Hall.
This info may be useless because Graphics will move into new space when the Technology
addition is complete.
Rooms need DVD players
The administration in HHH is making great strides in correcting any of the technology issues in
the building. The cleaning of the building is sometimes not sufficient. HHH 105 need to be
renovated to make it more flexible as a classroom/lab. Right now it can only be used as a lab
which means the space is sometimes under-utilized.
As you might have noticed, all of the classes listed are in the same classroom.
for some questions the appropriate answer should have been --- does not apply (e.g. coverings
on windows. Lighting question should include: not appropriate for using data projector
The classrooms are in a terrible shape. Some of the electrical outlets are broken and present
- 65 -
physical danger. Computers are very slow. Computer desks are broken and tilted in some
classrooms. There is proper window curtains/screens in the classrooms to block light when
necessary. Windows do not provide adequate noise insulation. Floors have patchwork vinyl
carpets that look terrible. Computer wires are not properly tacked.
In both rooms, lights that are connected to the dimmer switch buzz loud enough to be really
annoying. If one turns off those lights, then the overall lighting set up is wrong for use of the
overhead projector. (The wrong lights are on for optimal viewing.) In 308, placement of the
screen is not right. With the tables in there, the overhead cannot be positioned far enough
away from the screen and the angle of the screen makes it next to impossible to make the
viewing area from the projector be rectangular and large enough for the students to see. Also
the light switches are behind the screen which must be lifted to flip the switches.
My method of instruction would be influenced possibly by the room in which I taught if it was not
of modern quality like the Education Bldg. I hope my answers were useful – Thanks
The dry-erase board doesn't erase easily, no matter what brand of dry-erase marker is used.
Also, there are many cords to many things plugged into an outlet on the left side of the board
and one must step over them to access the board.
While I thoroughly enjoy working at Fairmont State, I must say that the room in which I lecture
(104 HHH) has the exact same poster in it that was hanging there when I took geology there in
1990. There is even an article posted, quite coincidentally, that I brought to my geology
teacher in 1993. Maybe we need some updates? :)
Since classes generally start out with a large enrollment and then shrink considerably by mid-
semester it would be helpful to me and to my students if we could move from MMA or a larger
lecture hall at the mid-term to a more intimate classroom size. The large classroom is not
conducive to small group work which I would like to be able to do on a more regular basis.
For teaching composition, I would prefer that I be assigned to a classroom with desk computers
for each student. This is not necessary for literature classes.
The chalkboards in room 116 are problematic. This is not enough room for the desks we have.
Room 114 dry erase board is not good. The room is too long to have the 60 or so desks it has.
I don't like white boards.
The chalkboards in several classrooms in Jaynes Hall are in very bad condition. As a math
teacher this has significant impact on my instruction!!!
Without multimedia availabilities it is difficult for the students to get a feel for what is being
taught. In this day and age it is essential for visual media to be available. If we look at the
students they are asked to do computer programs and power point presentations for a variety
of classroom assignments. We need to have access to the equipment.
Unfortunately, it is impossible to make use of small group experiences in the Jaynes Hall rooms
that I use due to the large number of chairs and students. I can't move them around
sufficiently. The lecture/discussion approach is typically better suited for these rooms. I have
also just noticed a leak in room 322 Educ. coming from the ceiling near the window. Two of my
students got wet with the last rain. I'm a person who has to be very concerned with mold
accumulation. P.S. THANKS FOR CARING ENOUGH TO ASK FOR THIS INFORMATION!
HAPPY HOLIDAYS.
Sometimes the seating is too close. This encourages cheating.
In room 149 at the Caperton Center, I take advantage of the Smart Technology that is
available. At times however, the students in the back have some difficulty seeing the
presentation. This is my first semester working with Smart Technology, and although I can
adjust to using it, at times I would just prefer a simple blackboard. I do enjoy and use widely
the video capabilities and the internet projection features in both classrooms, although it does
take some class time to set it all up.
Lighting in classroom, although satisfactory can be improved. It can be a little dark at times.
Heating/Air conditioning can be regulated better in all the classroom at the aviation center.
Some classrooms are too cold (104) and others are too warm.
Difficult to get technical support for proper configuration of computers in the classroom.
- 66 -
Rooms 105 and 114 ED is listed as dedicated lab/studio, but is often used as a multi-purpose
classroom
Periodic painting of the rooms and repair of the walls would be helpful. Cleaning of the
windows, too.
In 311HHH, the light switches are behind the overhead screen and a wall mounted periodic
table. The electrical outlet for the overhead is on a wall and students have to walk over the
cord. The floor outlet no longer works--I suppose. Students have complained about this room
being too cold all semester -- especially with the air conditioning. One set of lights buzz and
cannot be used. Hence the lighting can not be adapted correctly for overhead use. It is either
dim or too bright. In 305 HHH, there are too many chairs for the shape and size classroom.
Hence, we put 35-40 students in a classroom that is too small. It is difficult to walk around the
class to answer questions. Sometimes the room is too cold. It is hard to see the overhead due
to lighting. The lights above the screen cannot be turned out easily as I do in the other
classrooms -- light switch in the back of the room. The overhead screen is in front of the
window. Other rooms this shape (such as 309 HHH) have the screen and chalkboards in a
different set up. This is the first time I have taught in this classroom and the locations of the
chalkboards and overhead is very poor. Also in 308 HHH, there is a large box containing a
white board that has not been installed for over a year. It makes the room feel very cramped.
I am very pleased with the facilities at the Caperton Center. It is very modern and up-to-date
and an enjoyable place to teach because the accessibility of the teaching technologies
available allows me to present material in a way that can reach as many different learning
styles as possible. Nice job.
Most Hardway classrooms need setups for Powerpoint and other types of presentations. Only
a couple of rooms have mounted projectors/computers. Many internet connections don't work
in the room, either.
Lighting in both rooms is adequate but harsh. Both rooms are usually either too hot or too cold.
Room 201 is a fairly large room, suitable for use as a private teaching studio and office, but it
contains a pipe organ, a harpsichord and two large storage cabinets. These items use up so
much space that the remainder is just enough for a desk and two chairs. The main problem is
that there is nowhere else to put any of these items. Room 206 has a great many desks and
a grand piano. These are in the way of the armless chairs and music stands I need to use for
my class. Again the root problem is an inadequate number of rooms dedicated to music
teaching/performance. Room 206 is noisy, badly ventilated and has no covering of any
description over the only 'window', a square opening in the outside wall. The available
technology is somewhat irrelevant because of the performance oriented nature of the classes I
teach.
I teach all three of my classes in the same room. The mounted projector in the classroom didn't
work for videos that I use to teach one of the classes. It was most inconvenient and a waste of
class time trying to deal with the issue. Kim put a mobile VCR/TV in the class room which was
fine but, when it works, the mounted projector is much better. Otherwise, I think the classroom
is exactly what is needed for my classes.
I'm not in room 304 this term, but it seems to rain into the room a lot. Most class rooms (not
labs) in HHH need the lights replaced to make effective use of multimedia. AND they could all
use new ceiling tiles.
The classrooms at the Caperton Center are great because they are technology based and each
room is equipped with a computer. Perfect for presentations, but the ED building is not as
technological sound.
We could use DVD players in each classroom and more equipment for doing power point
presentations in the classroom.
In ED 102, we need a DVD player. Heating and cooling in ED 102 is very uneven. There are
drafts in the room depending on where the students are seated. ED 102 room environment
greatly improved with addition of area rug and podium this fall.
The Feaster Center as a whole is very old and outdated. The classrooms are separated by a
folding wall that is broken and not able to isolate classroom noise. The Feaster Center is not
- 67 -
Handicap accessible. There is no way a wheel chair can make it to the third floor where the
professor offices are located. There is little room for storage and classroom growth.
I transfer scheduled classes at the Vo-Tech center to the high school in order to have access to
a computer lab in my classroom.
My class room is in the Turley Center 321a
Since I teach mostly computer type classes, neither the Taylor County Vo-Tech nor the Barbour
County Vo-Tech have overhead projection units which connect with a computer for showing the
class how to use the various software packages. This is a hindrance to helping students see
how to use the software features. Additionally, since this type of equipment is not new
technology and is available at both the Caperton and main campuses, the students are not
getting the quality of instruction that is available elsewhere.
The class room in which I am teaching has tables at which three students sit. There is not
place for extra books for outer ware. When a test is given there is no way to keep students
from looking at each others test because they are on top of each other. I must make up two
different tests. I guess I just do not like the elbow to elbow class rooms.
In general, I do not have any issues with the classrooms in which I teach. The Education 322
classroom is fine, but the desks are spread out across the room so far that I feel like the
students on the 'outskirts' miss out. At times, there are tissues or coffee cups left behind by
the instructor who uses the room before me. Other than that, I have no other comments.
I teach in a library media center with a connecting computer lab. This is my day time
employment environment. It is a more than adequate facility, with the exception of heating and
cooling. Both are turned of at 3:00 in the afternoon, so by the evening class it is either very
cold or very warm. Does not make for a good learning environment.
All of the classrooms I teach in HHH have difficult to read old style chalkboards. Students
sitting 3 or more tables back complain that can not read the boards. In room 402 the dust from
the chalkboard rains down on the rooms dedicated laptop. To have such low tech low quality
classroom materials reflects poorly on the College of Science and Technology.
Type of room was not on your list. The department was not on your list. The classroom does
not have windows. Many points do not fit the questions.
I teach a Chemistry class in this room. The board space is very inadequate for a math/science-
type class.
The computers in 117 JH and 214 Jaynes Hall are obsolete and need replaced immediately. It
takes an eternity just to get logged in, let alone try to use an application.
Hopefully, the new building will solve all of the current issues.
Both of these classrooms are in Turley Center. This was not an option of choices
The chairs/desks in the classrooms are not large enough or comfortable for the adult learners
occupying them.
You need an answer that says NA, because there where quit a few responses that I gave, that I
really should not have commented on.
I put ' poor' for ADA requirements for the room I was in at Caperton, only for the fact that I have
to step up onto the podium. A person in a wheelchair could not do that.
My primary problem with the classroom seating is that there are way too many desks in both
rooms than seems safe or convenient and larger students are simply miserable--only one
alternatively styled desk is available in either. I love the natural light afforded by the big
windows (and wouldn't trade them for quiet), but if there is so much as leaf blower running
outside (or snow blower), students and I must scream at each other to be heard--perhaps this
is more a matter of grounds-keeping than classroom improvement. Most urgently, 304 needs a
thermostat that works--the heartiest students have shivered and perspired through their classes
all term. Finally, a college classroom ought to reflect the importance and dignity of pursuing
higher ed -- it needn't be fancy, but it ought to be clean, orderly, and comfortable. Currently,
rooms in Jaynes tend to look like broken office furniture storage facilities, which just makes me
sad.
Time to get Whiteboards--The last two institutions I taught at in Pennsylvania had these five
- 68 -
years ago.
I have often had to change my course because technology was not available.
Thank you for your help. Except for the heating/cooling system (designed by a New Orleans
engineer), our Caperton Center is an excellent facility with a wonderful staff.
The thermostat in JH 304 is locked and thus sometimes the room is too hot or too cold. The
chalkboards are fine but recently purchased erasers don't erase! JH 303 is often used for
meetings and sometimes food containers (pizza boxes and the like) are left 'in the trash' but the
trash can is too small to dispose of these items.
You did not include Bryant Place. Class 3 and 4 on my survey are from Bryant Place. I do not
have enough white board space there, no computer, no PENCIL SHARPENER, etc. The
furnace/air conditioner is in the corner of the room and it makes much too much noise. It is
ALWAYS running. Can it ever be turned off? The rooms are clean, bright, and spacious, but
equipment is needed. I carry my own markers, etc to use on the boards.
I have had two personal VCR tapes destroyed by the machine in Jaynes 304; another one
belonging to the Library was 'eaten' last spring. This is unacceptable. Although Language &
Literature has ordered replacement copies for my personal tapes, these replacements will not
belong to me. I've therefore lost money using the equipment in this classroom.
The distance technology is always a problem. We lose instructional time in almost every class
because the technology is either not working at one or the other rooms. The room is too small
for the number of students crowded into the room.
Hunt Haught Hall is not the most comfortable building to teach or learn in. Its poor design,
unattractive environment, inconsistent and fluctuating temperatures, in conjunction with a scary
elevator, ugly leaking ceiling tiles and general poor air quality make it kind of a depressing
place to be.
Room's number 3 and 4 are not technically on your list. Number three is the lab kitchen at the
Education Building, number two is the main kitchen in the Falcon Center, as I use it for
internships and practicum students.
There are a number of comments that I have regarding classrooms that your survey did not
address: 1. Lighting a. Many rooms in HHH have at least one bank of lights which are
contain a rheostat. This is a problem because they are NOISY and they BLINK incessantly--
almost to the point of being a strobe light. They should be removed and be replaced by a
regular on/off switch. b. Switches are not located in a convenient place in the classrooms.
Sometimes at the back of the room or underneath a view-screen--and nowhere near the door
so that I can turn them on or off as I enter/leave the room. 2. Many of the ceiling tiles are
discolored or missing due to water damage. Which leads us to... 3. Many classrooms and
offices get water damage from leaks--the most noticeable are 304 and 306, rooms which are
plagued by water from or near the greenhouse on the 4th floor. 4. The smells that come
through the ventilation system are sometimes of a nasty variety...The intake for the ventilation
system is in close proximity to some of the exhaust for science labs. 5. The rooms are not
heated/cooled in a balanced manner. Room 308 is almost always too cool and then 311 is
almost always 10 degrees warmer that 308. 6. Windows-- a. Drapes are either 30+
years old and so nasty that they should be thrown away--or they've been taken down and
thrown away. b. Almost every window in the building has extremely large gaps in them that
allow wind and rain and snow in and our precious heat/cold out.
Generally 211 JH has adequate technology, but we had Proxima issues which were not
addressed this semester. These should be corrected next semester. Lighting in that room is
an issue on a cloudy (or very bright) day.
The light switch in 311 HHH is behind the periodic table. The room is often too hot. 608
Bryant Place could use another whiteboard. 208 Jaynes is too hot and very cluttered with
technology.
There were a few class sessions, which were cut short due the high temp. in the room.
classroom lighting should be checked
The rooms are unattractive. The ceiling tiles in 312 and 314 are in poor condition. There are
- 69 -
no windows. The seats are much to small for large students.
Room 103 Jaynes Hall is an absolute disgrace. I am so afraid some student is going to fall
over all of the wires, computers and other junk that clutters the room.
Jaynes Hall obviously is in need of repair. All classrooms should have proximas. 303 does not.
Many of the computers are password protected or are not well maintained. Rooms have old
chalkboards. I use a portable whiteboard that is a little unsteady but can be wheeled into my
room. For small classes, it is not a big issue but it would be helpful to see good whiteboards
installed in the classrooms.
1. I have heard some complaints by other faculty of odors in HHH. I notice these odors only
when I'm outside and occasionally in the greenhouse when the windows are open. 2. Proxima
projector in 302 HHH has been non-functioning or missing for half of the semester. 3. The
interior of HHH could use a fresh coat of paint. 4. Glass in the greenhouse needs to be re-
glazed or replaced. If it rains, it also rains inside the greenhouse. 5. Unreliable/inefficient
heating and cooling in the greenhouse prevents greater utilization. 6. Tar from the thresholds
at the greenhouse doors is oozing and being tracked through the area. 7. In the classroom, I
use any and all technology available. 8. I'm not sure if the safety lighting in the 4th floor labs is
working properly.
A white board would have been nice to have to teach with.
Room 113 Education Building is a temporary environment for our WV Folklife Center activities.
Obviously, it is crowded, but we are going to be able to move into our new center area within a
year. Room 310 Jaynes Hall like all of the rooms on the 3rd. Floor of Jaynes Hall are old, with
broken blinds, broken seats, and too many chairs for the individual room environments. The
chalk boards are older and worn too. The windows are usually dirty.
The technology in the Hardway building/lower level is dreadful. I don't even have a decent
overhead projector to work with. Student leaning is always compromised since I have to write
everything on the chalk board (I am happy to have it as opposed to a white board.) White
boards are sloppy tools and the markers are never available.
Both of the classrooms hinder cooperative learning groups and demonstration of appropriate
techniques for active learning. Since I teach elementary teaching methods, it is very difficult to
model appropriately with the lack of available technology in the rooms, and with regards to the
issues of flexible seating. Too many desks are in both rooms which makes access up and
down aisles and around the perimeter of the room impossible.
103 Needs an overhead lightpro attached to the ceiling to alleviate some of the cords strung
across the floor. The computer stand has a broken wheel and is propped up by a book.
Technology is less than adequate in Wallman Hall. It is extremely difficult to plan for student's
presentations/speeches and have ports inactive, dead plugs etc.
no, but I am a big fan of a conference-style structure. long tables instead of old-fashioned
children's desks. space between the tables allowing the instructor to move freely throughout the
room (high touch plus keeping students alert & oriented). 214-dry erase markers always
missing or out of ink-odor problem; not as good as chalk boards to me. 117-a cart on three
wheels all semester. we almost sent a computer crashing-literally-down trying to move. old
buildings-big windows-lots of light-huge positive to us light-deprived West Virginians (lived in El
Paso before moving here). also, cage-lock Proximas and hard drives to computers. provide a
simple combination lock to access computer cabinet. WVU does this-it is simple and appears to
work well. keep carts for computers and overheads functional-basic
maintenance/housekeeping checks-not hard. computer in 214, i think, is old. couldn't bring up
web-ct to show students how to upload file. couldn't play a CD for instructional purposes.
basic things like the wobbly cart or slow computer impede the flow of instruction.
the only issue that i have with the classrooms in which i have taught is that the rooms could be
more ada-compliant. perhaps automatic door openers and more appropriate seating for
individuals who use a wheelchair. otherwise great classrooms. maintenence and cleaning
operations are superb. .
My Class is Ballroom dancing and the hall is good the availability of musical equipment is

The Office of Institutional Research would like to like to request your assistance on a survey relating to classroom
environments. My name is Bill Finley, the Director of Institutional Research at FSU, and although I haven't met all of you
personally, I would like you to help me with this initiative.
Directions:
Pursuant to the FSU Strategic Plan, Goal #1 [Empower Faculty and Students to achieve high levels of teaching and
learning], the Office of Institutional Research would like to know about your experiences teaching in the assigned
classroom(s) during the Fall 2006 semester. Your survey responses will be completely anonymous but may be aggregated
by school/college for research purposes only.
This survey should take about 5-10 minutes of your time, so please take a few minutes to complete this form.
Remember to click on the "Done" button at the end to record your responses for analysis.

Items with Matrix
Response
Each of the items in this survey allows for you to rate a maximum of four classrooms that you have used during this
current fall semester. While I realize that many of you teach in more than 4 classrooms, for survey purposes, please
focus only on four rooms. You may or may not use all four rows of the response matrix depending upon the number of
different classrooms that you select to rate. So, please think about each item and how you would rate each of the
classrooms you have chosen, and then check only box per classroom row indicating your rating for that classroom for that
item.
