M: First, I want to thank you for agreeing to this survey. This is an open-ended question survey, so please don’t feel held back. Can you tell me first what program you are part of and what year you’re in?
W: Yes, I’m currently in my fourth year of a Chemistry course and I’m majoring in inorganic chemistry. If all goes well, I could be off to Britain for my Master’s next June.
M: How do you feel about the Chemistry program at the university? Do you think it has lived up to your expectations?
W: On the whole it has.. However, as the university is still known primarily as a Liberal Arts school, you might say that chemistry doesn’t always work with a very bountiful budget.
M: How do you think this under-funding problem affects the quality of education?
W: Well, for example, laboratory has all the equipment you would normally find at a standard lab. Unfortunately, if you want to conduct complex experiments, you probably have to compete over resources with the Biology department.
M: How would you describe the quality of the professors? I guess I’m interested in your own experience with them.
W: I think they are generally very well committed to the program and to their students. But the problem is that they themselves feel that they are working with inferior equipment. Moreover, I have heard many are taking contracts elsewhere, so we may lose a few just yet. It really does no good to the department.
M: Well, I hope your comments help to get that message across. Thanks again and I hope you have a great future.
W: Thank you.
