Student feedback: Senior debriefing summary
- 11 seniors completed the CE senior debriefing survey from 4/8 to 4/30.
- All 7 SO (student outcome) ratings, in both student success and assistance of program, exceeded the 70% threshold for "adequately" or better.
- The worst case was SO3, where 2 out of 11 students rated the outcome below benchmark in both success and assistance.
- SO3: "an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences"
- Comments include that presentations are only done in freshman studies sequence and information security [N.B.: they're done elsewhere, including in senior design]
- Some students would like more coursework (dedicated or integrated) in this area, but the majority rate and comment positively on the current situation.
- Many (and universally) positive comments on the CE faculty.
