11) What was learned from the results?
Students indicated that friendships was the most valuable thing that stood out for them duing the summer program as they transitioned to UHM. Preparation for the fall semester, COP counselors and staff, and their summer classes were the next most valuable items listed.
Friendships was listed as the top best thing they liked about the summer program followed by the activities, experience of college, living in the residential hall, and staff support.
Students indicated classes were the least liked aspect of the COP Summer Program. This was followed by homework, getting up early, exams, and walking to/from classes and the residential hall.
When asked if they could change one thing about the COP summer program, students indicated "nothing" as their number one response. This was followed by having more group activities, lengthening the duration of the summer program, requiring students to stay in the residential hall during the weekends, and studying harder/better.
Lastly, 100% of participants indicated that the summer program prepared them for the fall semester.
12) State how the program used the results or plans to use the results. Please be specific.
These results will be used as COP plans for the upcoming summer program.
13) Reflect on the assessment process. Is there anything related to assessment procedures your program would do differently next time? What went well?
