I thought you might be interested in seeing some of the results from the fall Continuing Student Survey which was conducted just before Thanksgiving. We’ve been doing this survey at least twice a year now for four years. While the information I will be sharing below is for all our regional campuses, the data is able to be filtered by campus and that report is provided to the Dean at each campus. If you would like to know more about the results relative to the campus where you teach, contact the Dean and set up a time to look at the data.
Please rate your experience with the following campus offices relative to the support you receive. | |
Fall 2018 survey of active students | |
Faculty | Response |
Dissatisfied | 0.40% |
Somewhat Dissatisfied | 1.59% |
Neutral | 6.77% |
Somewhat Satisfied | 11.16% |
Satisfied | 80.08% |
As you can see from the above, 91% of our students are satisfied or somewhat satisfied with the support they receive from Faculty. This continues to support our faith in our faculty and their dedication to student learning and student success. Thank You!
How much time do you spend outside of class on completing your homework?
Degree Program | < 8 hrs. | 8-12 hrs. | 13-16 hrs. | > 16 hrs. |
Undergraduate | 19.83% | 45.45% | 19.83% | 14.88% |
Graduate | 14.81% | 50.37% | 20.74% | 14.07% |
As you can see, the majority of students indicate they spend at least 8 hours per week outside of class on their homework with many spending more than 12 hours per week.
Why are you pursuing completing your degree?
Degree Program | Promotion | Change Jobs | Personal Goal | Other |
Undergraduate | 16.34% | 36.14% | 42.57% | 4.95% |
Graduate | 28.29% | 26.22% | 40% | 4.89% |
Factors, like getting a promotion or changing a job, comprise 52.48% (undergraduate), and 54.51% (graduate) of the primary motivation for pursuing a degree. Nearly as important, however, is the desire to achieve a personal goal.
Blessings,
