Student Survey Report Spring 2020
Introduction
Purpose
During the summer of 2020, the Data Faculty Interest Group (FIG) with support from the Office of Institutional Effectiveness, and therefore with institutional commitment, designed, implemented, and analyzed the results of a student survey. Singular in purpose, this survey measured the Spring 2020 Emergency Remote Instruction (ERI) student experiences. ERI is differentiated from the traditional and optional online model practiced before Spring 2020 as it was an unexpected situation leaving neither students nor faculty with preparatory pedagogical time or choice. This section of the FIG report reflects the analysis of the student survey. The FIG also designed and implemented a complementary survey for faculty.
Applicability
The results of the student survey may provide useful information on the extent to which students were prepared and satisfied with ERI, pedagogical challenges in multiple areas, and technology preferences, among other variables. Additionally, the results can help provide insights and considerations for online learning in the future. Even when students self-select and enroll in online courses, there are inherent challenges we could extract from the survey results to understand how best to help students succeed.
As we approach the Fall 2020 semester, which will be administered largely online, the analysis that follows is an effort to understand the experiences of students and faculty in Spring 2020 so that all members of the college community can more reasonably and expeditiously meet student needs moving forward.
