Hall, Toni; Reed, Jim
During Fall 1977, a questionnaire was mailed to 8,455 first-year graduates of 26 Texas community colleges. Responses were received from 4,838 graduates (57%). Following a section presenting survey highlights in 25 graphs, the survey report presents aggregate statewide questionnaire responses expressed as numbers and percentages. Respondents are categorized by college major, degree received (Associate of Arts or Associate in Applied Science), sex, and ethnic group. Responses are also summarized for questions relating to educational goals; employment status; ratings of instruction, student services, and training; problems encountered in transferring credits; relation of employment to courses completed and reasons for employment not being related to courses; course assistance in occupational area; average monthly salaries; prior employment in occupational area; and job availability. Survey results are formatted so that individual college results can be filled in and compared with statewide figures. Blank report format pages, on which institutions can record data by categories not covered in the report, and the survey instrument are included in the study report. (JP)
