| Summary: | In 1993-94, Sinclair Community College (SCC), in Ohio, conducted a survey of 1,650 associate degree and certificate candidates to determine their perceptions regarding their educational experiences at SCC. A total of 505 candidates completed the survey, for a response rate of 30.6%. Using a 5-point scale, with 1 indicating "excellent" and 5 indicating "poor," students were asked to rate courses in their major with respect to the quality of instruction, testing and grading, faculty attitudes, course content, instructional materials, class size, course variety, and course availability. Analysis of the findings indicated that, consistent with previous surveys, the quality of instruction was the most highly rated area, receiving a mean score of 1.58. Conversely, the availability of courses was the lowest rated category, receiving a mean rating of 2.22. Further analysis showed significant differences between divisional responses, with least positive ratings coming from engineering technologies and performing arts graduates. Respondents were also asked to rate selected student or institutional services if they had used the service at least once during the last two years. The majority of students indicated that services were excellent or good, while a slight decline in mean ratings from previous years was noted for adult reentry, tutoring, and grounds maintenance. Finally, financial aid and parking received the lowest mean ratings at 2.84 and 2.72, respectively. The survey instrument is appended. (KP) |
