Abstract | In fall 1995, William Rainey Harper College in Illinois conducted a study of former students in the Materials/Logistics Management (MLM) program to determine their evaluation of their educational experiences in the program. The sample consisted of 298 former MLM students from 1990 to 1995, including 119 students who had earned 48 credit hours but did not graduate, 145 who had earned a certificate, and 34 who had earned an associate degree. Study findings, based on responses from 96 former students, included the following: (1) the most commonly cited achievement for the non-graduating students was that they had prepared themselves for a job, while certificate students most often cited their certification and degree students a promotion in their job; (2) with respect to the most effective instructional method, the highest rated method was class discussion, followed by lectures and case studies; (3) the most effective method of attracting students to the program was recommendation by colleagues and supervisors, followed by general college literature, college brochures mailed to students' homes, and the class schedule mailed to their homes; and (4) student comments on the program varied from the perception that it was too easy, that outreach was not effective enough, and that the program was not on the cutting edge. The survey instrument is appended. (BCY) |
