An Exclusive place for the QA SessionsAs in the best practices around the world,
there was an exclusive place for the Quality Circle in the CAS that evolved at a later stage
Forums for idea sharing would be well coordinated
were attended by member representatives who progressively became inactive members

The top of the mind student problem gets reflected to the panel – may be it is not a deeper problem
Difficulty to persuade the students to become active participants in the process
Perceived “wet paint syndrome” that kept our hands cold! – “Can we justify this enough?- What if we are asked for more supporting materials?”

Too much to do in too little timeEverybody understands the importance but
how much to do by when?Started ambitiously and at one point felt like-
“Oh lets get it out of our system!”

On a continuous basis do assessment of the active members and bring in more people
We would start early- now that we know the process
The trainers will train – the QA-oriented staff will carry the torch forward
We will walk with our eyes more open!! On the logistics front we were happy with
the support given to the panel!We shall continue the role of supporting the
panel in doing their work!!! CAS-Ibri - Logistics & Co-ordination issues11/10/2009 31
