Survey of graduating seniors

From the Geology Department, California State University Bakersfield

Purpose

This is an annual survey administered in the spring quarter to students in our Senior Seminar class.

Implementation

Survey questions are given via Surveymonkey.
The focus groups are led by a group of business graduate student who use this as a class project.

Effectiveness

The responses from students indicate that they are generally happy with their education in our program. However, there is also frustration about large class sizes and limited availability of required classes and a desire for more field experiences. This is clearly a result of budget cuts in recent years.
