Extra) Faculty Retreat
-------------------------
We some sort of an online survey by next week.
We need good questions to elicit concrete answers. We need to give feedback to faculty.
We want new suggestions for questions. 
Questions that came up were:
What did they think of the environment of Cory labs?
Who uses Hearst Annex computer labs?
There are usually no access to Hearst Annex labs unless you are taking CS61A.
Bathrooms should get renovated.
The chairs in 277 Cory Hall do not work. 
EE128 is offered by a non-Berkeley professor and should be changed, and it is also
from 6-8 which is really late. They should change it to a more normal time. 
No balances of classes between Tuesdays and Thursdays. 
Having late hour labs are not good.
Professors with consistently bad ratings are still teaching the class.(ie EE117)
Higher quality of classes for lower division classes.
How much sleep do EECS people get? Course schedule versus sleep.
Is one EECS unit worth more than other major's one unit?

If you find errors, please email rsec@hkn.eecs.berkeley.edu
I just finished preparing for Saturday prayer meeting for my church and HKN minutes.
It is 1:40AM and I am going snowboarding tomorrow... 3 hours of sleep... GOOD NIGHT!
