Student Needs and Priorities Survey, California State University, Fresno, Spring 1989.
Daigle, Stephen L.; Stock, William P.
The 1989 Student Needs and Priorities Survey (SNAPS) was administered on 18 of the 19 California State University (CSU) campuses to obtain a representative sample of student opinions and perceptions regarding important educational factors. This report supplements the systemwide report with a focus on the Fresno campus student population. Individual chapters cover: (1) the purpose of the survey, a brief overview of the CSU population, and background characteristics on students' personal lives and family backgrounds; (2) personal values, career objectives, and education priorities of students in the sample, with special emphasis on instruction, academic support, and student services; (3) student evaluations of campus instruction and support services; (4) relative influence of institutional barriers and personal problems on student retention; (5) needs and priorities of evening students; (6) needs and priorities of students enrolled at the CSUF/COS (California State University, Fresno/College of the Sequoias) Center; (7) analysis of student perceptions of their academic advising; (8) relationship between student perceptions captured by SNAPS and other available information; and (9) student participation in community service. A final chapter highlights the major findings of the study and makes recommendations. Appendices include a list of six references, a table of departmental affiliations of class sections sampled, and a copy of the survey form. (JDD)
