Surveys are one method of collecting data from the key student learning experience stakeholders about their reflections on a program’s strengths and opportunities for further development.
Groups to consider surveying include:
- current students
- graduates / alumni
- program faculty
- program support staff
- graduate employers
- community partners
Areas to explore in surveys include:
- student / alumni satisfaction with the various aspects of programing (e.g., relevance of curriculum, accessibility of programing / pedagogies)
- faculty perspectives on curriculum, program / course alignment, experiences of teaching within a program area
- program support staff experiences of the opportunities / challenges in supporting a program area
- employers / community partners perspectives on relevance of programming specific to industry / community, how programing supports students in preparing them for experiences beyond the College
