Course Feedback Report for Cycle 2
Posted Thu, 29 Sep 2011
The Course Feedback Cycle 2 Report compares two recent sets of feedback from students at Camosun College. Camosun averages were consistent between data sets, while ratings at the School level reveal distinct differences.
Age and gender of Camosun students
Posted Thu, 29 Sep 2011
A new report by Educational Research and Planning provides a snapshot of credit student demographics at Camosun College in Fiscal Year 2010/11. The median age is 23.4 while the average is 26.4. The most mature students are in Trades and Technology (TT) (median 25.3) followed by Health and Human Services (HHS) (median 24.7). Overall, gender is fairly balanced at the college (51% female, 49% male), but the proportion who are women ranges from 88% in HHS to 8% in TT.
Comparing the experiences of post-secondary completers and stop-outs
Posted Wed, 31 Aug 2011
A new study from the Student Outcomes Forum compares the experiences of those BC post-secondary education (PSE) students who attain their credential and those who leave early (stop-outs, who may or may not return to PSE), particularly with regard to their goals for enrolling, their goal realization and satisfaction with education, and their financial situations.
The study provides evidence that credential rates are not the only way of viewing the success of post-secondary education. Regardless of their credential status, reasons for enrolling, or employment outcomes, a large majority of all respondents (completers or stop-outs) said they were satisfied or very satisfied with the education they received in B.C.’s postsecondary institutions.

Most former BC post-sec students satisfied with their education
Posted Mon, 11 Jul 2011
The results are in and they show that most former BC post-secondary students are satisfied with the program they took. In 2010, four annual surveys collected information from former students who took apprenticeship technical training; baccalaureate programs; diploma, associate degree, and certificate programs; and English as a Second or Additional Language (ESL) training. A new report published by the Outcomes Forum provides a bird's-eye view of the results including satisfaction, ratings of various aspects of programs, labour market and further study outcomes, and student finances.

2011 Q2 & W Course Survey Schedule
Posted Fri, 18 Feb 2011
The next iteration of the course feedback survey will occur in March and April 2011:
• Interurban's Q2 course survey will run March 4 - March 11 in CBA 250
• Lansdowne's Winter course survey will run March 21 - April 1 in the LLC Multipurpose Room
• Interurban's Winter course survey will run April 4 - 11 in CBA 250
To reduce use of class time, two or three courses that share a cohort are sometimes scheduled as a "block" of surveys during one course’s class time. Course sections with surveys scheduled during another class's time are indicated with an asterisk, and the class “hosting” the survey during its class time is indicated with two asterisks. The chronological version of the survey schedule clarifies the concept and specifies which courses have been grouped for "block" surveys.
Former ESL students outcomes report now available
Posted Fri, 17 Dec 2010
In 2010, 1,839 former domestic English as a Second Language (ESL) students who
studied at the intermediate level or higher in British Columbia were eligible to participate in the Developmental Student Outcomes (DEVSO) Survey in February and March of 2010. This new report provides highlights of the survey.
What is Camosun's planning environment? New environmental scan for Strategic Plan 2011 available.
Posted Wed, 15 Dec 2010
Environmental Scan 2011 supports the College's new strategic planning process by providing data and analysis in three general areas: social trends, the economy and educational issues. The volatile combination of an aging population, the global economic downturn and financial crisis, high Canadian dollar, uneven recovery and significant skills shortages in a number of employment areas along with short-term high unemployment in other areas makes for a highly unpredictable labour market and program planning environment for post-secondary education in general and Camosun College in particular.
