<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">There are a wide range of I&E courses at SCU, but a lot of them are not well marketed to students that are not in the School of Engineering. A lot of the time these classes may seem intimidatiing or daunting to non-engineering majors. As a way to alleviate this feeling, on the course description page of a particular class, there should be a 1-2 minute video of the professor describing the requirements, topics, scope, and application of their class. This contrasts the current course description page which has currently has a brief description of the class, the prerequisites, and required books. A video describing the course will not only be a more engaging way to learn about a class but it will give students a better feel for the professors personality and the importance of the class. It will also help students get a better idea of if they want to take that class.</span>
<span style="font-size: 14.4px;">The quality of many elective classes at SCU are dependent on the content and the professor. The main resources students currently have access to for learning about a class and professor are the student submitted course evaluations and or the generally biased reviews of a class or professor from websites like Ratemyprofessors. Students of all majors could formulate a better understanding of an elective course with a video description coming directly from the professor.</span>
