Students' Evaluation of the First Year Experience at Bowie State College.
Gill, Wanda E.; And Others
An instrument was designed to survey students' impressions of Bowie State College (Maryland), with attention to administration, counseling and academic support services, and course loads. The research population consisted of students participating in the Special Services project at the college. Questionnaires were returned by six students, five black and one white. Five indicated that they were first-generation college students, and three said they were low-income. Three were sophomores, one a senior, and one respondent was unidentified. The questionnaire covered: teachers' characteristics, evaluation of specific courses, advisement and counseling evaluation, Special Services Project evaluation, and administrator evaluation. Respondents basically found teachers to be organized, experienced, and knowledgeable. There was no consensus on whether the course load was too much. Advisors and counselors were considered to be available, amiable, and advisory in a useful manner. The advising and counseling programs were considered well organized and managed, conveniently located, and beneficial. Additional findings and the responses to each survey question are shown in percentages (strong agreement, agreement, neutrality, disagreement, strong disagreement, or nonapplicability). (SW)
