2006-07 College Graduate Survey - College of Continuing Education

NOTES for next 5-year survey:
Consider offering an incentive (respondents to the first 5-year survey were eligible to receive a $50 gift certificate
from Barnes and Noble)
Collect responses from juniors, too. There is no incentive for the juniors to return a blank survey. Ask
respondents to indicate whether they were juniors or seniors in 200? at the end of the survey. Move other
demographic questions to the end of the survey as well. Make the first question something interesting.
Change the question about whether CIS played a significant role in preparing the student for college. Some
students disagreed with the statement because they had only taken 1 CIS class and didn’t feel that it played a
“significant” role in preparing them. Maybe this question should only be asked of students who took two or more
CIS classes.
Change the question about the impact of CIS language courses on choice of study. At least one person appears to
have misinterpreted this and answered the question about the language courses they took after CIS.
