As for DFEs, I suspect the hardest part of that process is getting SI students out of West Hall and into the community where those sorts of projects can be found in abundance once you learn where to look.

Regarding DFEs/PEP points, the amount of time students have to spend documenting what they did is ridiculous! Even with all of that paperwork, people can (and do) get away with getting more credit for less work or for positions that don’t fit SI’s narrow definition of DFE work.

Mentoring/support of masters students is very lacking at SI, in general.

Sadly, I don’t think anyone is listening to these student concerns.
