Evaluation of NVCC Instruction, Services, and Facilities: Class of 2000. Research Report.
Northern Virginia Community Coll., Annandale. Office of Institutional Research.
This report summarizes the results of a 1999-2000 survey administered to graduates of Northern Virginia Community Colleges (NVCC). The survey items are organized under the broad areas of assessing the education, instruction, faculty, services and facilities provided by the community colleges. The number of respondents for a given item varied from 570 to 932, as students did not respond to every question. In the assessment of education provided by the colleges, the items "technical knowledge in your area of study" and "awareness of many cultures" received the highest evaluations. The graduates were also highly satisfied with the instruction they received, with 89% of respondents indicating an "excellent" or "good" rating for the quality of instruction. Similarly, an overwhelming majority of students (84%) found the faculty teaching ability to be above average. In the evaluation of the facilities and services provided, however, more negative ratings were noticeable. Students were dissatisfied with parking and course advisement, and over 50% of the respondents reported that they did not make use of learning lab facilities, financial aid services or student activities. Tables reporting these results and results of individual NVCC campuses are provided. Survey instrument is appended. (Contains 24 tables.) (JCC)
