Description

This study addresses the level at which students in the Psychology Department at Minnesota State University, Mankato tend to enjoy their classes, how well they achieve in their classes, how supportive their instructors are, and the various aspirations students have. In addition, the study attempts to tell us what we can do to increase student satisfaction and career readiness, and improve student advising. Through the use of surveys, interviews, and discussion groups, we are gathering information that would be useful in assessing our department. This information is part of the department's annual program review and will be used to improve the program for future students. This study also represents a novel approach to program assessment, through incorporating current students in the design and analysis of the surveys and interviews.
