Abstract | CEQ-The Advisor ratings from 400 of 763 class sections from the spring of 1971 administration were divided into two groups of 200 sections each. The sections were separated into five groups depending on the proportion of students taking the class as a requirement. These proportions were as follows: more than 4/5 of the student enrollment was mandatory, 3/5 to 4/5 of student enrollment was mandatory, etc. Identical analyses were performed on each sample with identical results. One-way analyses of variance (ANOVA) on each of the six subscales of the CEQ yielded statistically significant differences among the mean ratings of the five groups. Polynomical trend analyses subsequently showed that the linear trend was significant (p .01) in each case. This result implied that as the proportion of students taking a class because of a requirement increases, the ratings given to the course and instructor decreases. Suggestions were made to caution instructors about interpreting CEQ results for classes that have high or low proportions of requirement-enrolled students. It was suggested also that further investigations be performed in this area before the results presented here are regarded as conclusive evidence. (Author) |
