1997 Graduating Senior Survey: Outcomes of General Education
Graduating seniors were asked to rate the extent to which NC State
had contributed to their development in terms of technical skills,
established goals for undergraduate education, attitudes and values,
and personal development. To measure impacts in these areas,
a four-point scale was used (1=not at all, 2=very little, 3=moderately,
and 4=very much). A "don't know" response was also
provided. For all items in this section, respondents marking
the "don't know" option were removed from analysis for
that item. Less than 4% of respondents used the "don't know"
option on any one item.
