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.

Dear TIPSters,

Knowing that some of you have well-developed departmental assessment
programs, I would really appreciate your comments/advice.

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!

Esther
