Chabot College Student Surveys: Trends 2003-2013 College-wide Learning Goals Since 2001, the bienniel Fall student survey has asked students about the progress they have made as a result of being at Chabot in learning aspects of the five college-wide learning goals–communication, critical thinking, global and cultural involvement, civic responsibility, and the development of the whole person. The charts below compare the results of the surveys through 2013. High percentages of students have consistently reported making "some" or "a lot" of progress in all five goals, with the most progress in Communication and Critical Thinking. Communicating with respect, critical thinking, and thinking for myself have consistently shown the most progress; writing effectively was high in 2013. The Student Accreditation Survey was conducted in October 2013 in a representative sample of seventy-seven on-campus course sections and was completed by 1,720 students (57% full time and 43% part time).
