Evaluation Standards

Evaluation Standard E1

The CEP conducts end-of-term student college course evaluations for each course section offered through the CEP.

Evidence:

End-of-term Survey Instrument

M State's CEP conducts end-of-term student surveys for each course section offered, every term, to provide feedback to CEP instructors regarding their course. An online survey is used for the course evaluation and data collection. The survey questions used are nearly identical to that being used in M State's end of course surveys on the college campus and online courses.

Sample of an Evaluation

See the "Example End of Term Student Course Survey". M State uses one standard evaluation template to cover all CEP disciplines.

Description of Methodology and Process to Report Back to CEP Instructors

M State CEP program staff create a unique course survey for every high school/instructor/course/term. Toward the end of the semester the unique survey link is emailed to the CEP instructor, whom has the students anonymously take the evaluation. Within two weeks, CEP program staff email every CEP instructor their course's survey results. Results come in the format of a survey link where CEP instructors have access to open ended responses, data trends and individual student responses.

Evaluation Standard E2

The CEP conducts an annual survey of CEP alumni who are one year out of high school. Survey includes NACEP essential questions (additional questions may be used). Methodology includes one follow-up contact with non-respondents. Qualified institutional evaluator/researcher collaborates with the CEP to develop the survey and analyze the data.

Evidence:

Alumni 1-Year Out Survey Instrument

E2 surveys were conducted in July of 2014. Survey Monkey was the survey instrument used to conduct E2 surveys. Please see "NACEP Alumni 1-Year Out Survey" for a template of the survey sent. Survey invitations were deployed to all former Concurrent Enrollment Program students who were one year out of high school. CEP staff sent initial survey invitation via email on 7/1/2014. A follow up reminder email was sent on 7/8/2014.

Alumni One Year Out Survey Data

· Surveys sent: 799

· Responses received: 117

· Email survey "undeliverable": Approximately 106

· Response rate: 15% (17% if you exclude the surveys returned undeliverable)

Evaluation Standard E3

The CEP conducts a survey of CEP alumni who are four years out of high school at least once every three years. Methodology includes one follow-up contact with non-respondents. Qualified institutional evaluator/researcher collaborates with the CEP to develop the survey and analyze the data.

Evidence:

E3 surveys were conducted in August of 2014. The instrument used to conduct E3 surveys, students who are four years out of high school, was printed paper copies sent via United States Postal Service with a self-addressed pre-paid envelope. Completed and returned survey information was entered into Survey Monkey to more efficiently aggregate and archive the data. Please see "NACEP Alumni 4-Year Out Survey" for a copy of the survey sent. September 24, 2014 a follow up reminder email was sent to all Concurrent Enrollment Program 4-year out alumni with the Survey Monkey link.

Alumni Four Year Out Survey Data

· Responses received: 88

Evaluation Standard E4

The CEP conducts surveys of participating high school instructors, principals, and guidance counselors at least once every three years.
