The Rutgers Alumni Association reviewed a plan called "Edu-My-Cation" that proposed informing students about budget cuts using social media, but the plan lacked details on how this outreach would occur and how students would be persuaded. Additionally, the budget estimate for the plan was unrealistic and did not include specific costs or steps. While the proposed student population was acceptable, the plan failed to account for guardian and parent interests in budget issues.

Review of Edu-My-Cation
By: Audrey Park, Jamie Park, Christina Hwang, Joanne
Kim, Jeanny Lee

2. Plan
• How will you specifically inform students using the
Social Media?
• What are your other plans of persuading students
to believe in your plan?
• Your plan needs more details.

3. Budget
• Budget is not realistically estimated.
• Specific prices and steps are not listed.
• Our interpretation of the budget estimate is
much larger than your initial budget.

4. Paradigm
• Failed to include “bigger ideas,” or theories for
a broader explanation
• In the California Education Crisis, how did the
students respond and speak out?

5. Population
• Population is acceptable and realistic.
• Failed to mention the guardians or parents of
the students, who are much more interested in
budget cuts than the students.

6. Discussion
• Is the university itself doing the best it can to
maximize the educational influences it has on
students?
• Representatives from Rutgers University will
not be able to point out the misuse of money
at Rutgers University.
