    ASSUMPTIONS
    Reasons for student success vary.
    Needs should be met before expectations can
    be fully realized.
    If we dont meet them, who will?
    Instructors are an important part of process.
    There is adequate time in and out of classroom
    to handle the process.
    There are additional resources at COD to work
    with this SSK system.
