["Use of Results:","Target not met. We have already hired two student bi-weeklies to tutor students in this class, so we are disappointed with the results. The adjunct instructor is very knowledgeable in the classroom and forest. Perhaps the filling of the faculty position will boost results in this course in following years with a new approach."]
