Among the 20 program items that students were asked to rate, they provided the highest rating to the help and/or support they received from their assigned counselor.  Each student was assigned to a "color" group which was lead by one of the COP counselors.  They had contact with their counselor in a class setting at least 3 times per week for 6 weeks.   If they needed to see their counselor for any other reason, they could drop in or schedule an individual appointment at the COP office.  The COP counselor was the university representative whom they had the most contact with during the 6 week summer program.  

The next items receiving high ratings in descending order include the following:

2. History 152 Lecture

3. Organization and administration of the summer program

4. College Success Lecture

5. Overall rating of the summer instructional porgram

Students were enrolled in 4 classes during the summer.  Without asking students to explain their ratings for each item, it might be assumed that students had better experiences in History and College Success since the other two classes were among the items that received the lowest ratings.  History 152 was taught by a very dynamic and passionate instructor.  Also, the COP counselors co-taught the College Success class.

How well a program or event is organized and administered also makes a difference.  The program must have been administered well since the students provided a high rating for this item.

 

We will keep to the same process.
