Abstract:

Introductory statistics students designed questionnaires to determine how Grand Valley State University students felt about the general education program. Each group decided on their own questions, with some guidance from the professor. After collecting the data, a short analysis was provided. The data sets were analyzed by a nonparametric class the following semester. Results are being tabulated and will be presented to the General Education Assessment Committee at GVSU.
