Description

The age of virtually free admission to colleges has come true in Japan these days due to the decreasing population of the young generation. That has caused various kinds of unpredictable problems and confusion in the educational scene in colleges. Our college was not the exception either, and after the term exam in the first semester of the year 2006 was over, we faced a serious situation, that is, about 55% of the first-year students could earn only less than 20 credits. Therefore, we were urged to take several measures, both urgent and lasting, to improve the situation thereafter, and we were able to escape the worst. In this article we give a general view of the situation and the measures we took, and try to inspect them. Through this work we would like to look for a clue for further improvement of our education activities.
