It will enable me determine actually what they need and find a means in order to reach a consensus with them. I would look into the constraints of their concerns and address them in a better way and ensure that they look in my direction of thinking (Fleisher &Bensoussan, 2003).

Since there is much attendance to this particular session it should be last enabling full attendance of all the other sessions and hence the success of the exercise (Godet, 2001). There should be an assessment of the system by computer specialists or technicians to determine why it’s not opening some course required by the students.
