Chabot College Student Satisfaction Survey: Fall 2005
Highlights
Student engagement in learning at Chabot
Comparison of EOPS and Non-EOPS Students
                       
   
        The Fall 2005 Student Satisfaction Survey asked students how often they had initiated various types of learning activities  
   both within and outside of their classes.  The responses of students who used Extended Opportunity and Program Services  
   (EOPS) were compared to those of students who did not use EOPS.  The results showed that EOPS students had more  
   frequently engaged in learning activities than non-EOPS students in almost all areas.  
       There were a number of areas where EOPS students were significantly more engaged in learning than non-EOPS students.
  For example, 34 percent of EOPS students often or very often met as a study group with other students, while only 17 percent
  of non-EOPS student met as a study group.  In addition, 43 percent of EOPS students versus 24 percent of non-EOPS students
  often or very often completed work that was not assigned in class in order to improve their skills.  
      The Fall 2005 Student Satisfaction Survey was conducted in October 2005 in a representative sample of seventy-five course
  sections and was completed by 1,605 students (62% full-time and 38% part-time).
