This is the second student opinion survey of the year, recently released by the Student Opinion Survey Committee and of institutional research and planning.
The survey asked 480 students-47 percent of them female and 53 percent male—questions submitted by the Spencer Museum of Art, the Student Development Center, the Student Senate and Associated Students of Kansas.
Questions for the survey were approved by the 12-member committee made up of faculty members, students and staff.
The survey was given the week of March 29-April 2 to 25 to 30 classes representing every level of study, and a representative man of the committee, said recently.
"The basic idea is that there be one clearing house for these kind of
questions so we don't have a great amount mailing, disrupting of classes and numbers of times students are interviewed," she said. "This prevents overlap of groups, and of two groups asking the same questions."
Any person or organization can ask questions to be asked in the poll, she says.
All the percentages shown in the survey are percentages of the total number of students polled. But Paschke answered to all the questions to answer all of the questions.
"The feedback is useful for the improvement of programs or for the programs to see if they are serving us as well as what they wanted to so she said.
