Esther--- I was looking through the archive of recent posts and saw yours about assessment. As it turns out, I am facing the same problem.
Did you receive any helpful responses from TIPS? Anything that you can share with me about querying graduating seniors would be greatly appreciated. btw, where is the APS cyberguide you mentioned? on the Education Directorate pages? Thanks for any help you can give us.

As part of our departmental assessment efforts, we plan to resume collecting data from graduating seniors. The original plan calls for questionnaires requesting information about student satisfaction with faculty teaching styles and availability, with courses, with the curriculum, and with other departmental offerings/services. Additionally, I was considering having a colleague from another department conduct some group interviews in which students were asked for the same kinds of feedback. I have two major questions: 1) Is there any value added by having FTF interviews rather than just collecting the questionnaire data? If so, how much additional time is required for processing the student feedback? 2) Would any of you be willing to share the format or questions you use for assessing student satisfaction with your departments, as well as your impressions of how this should be done? I do have the APA assessment cyberguide, but wanted your wisdom on this. Thanks much!
