So our students communicate to us they feel more overwhelmed than they actually do.
We were pretty close on wanting to become accomplished in a performing arts and identify as white.
They are more aware of racial discrimination than we think they are.
They feel more empowered than we think they do.
Am I reading this correctly?
Thanks,
Rhea

Subject: Who is Entering Higher Ed?

TBers,

A month  ago I sent out a survey asking members of this listserv what percentages of the entering undergraduate class (nationally) you believe meets the indicated criterion.  Here are the results vs. the actual numbers (based on CIRP data for Fall 2012) .


 1.  Believe they will graduate in 4 years:

TB 84%
Actual 84%       (Nicely done group!)


 2.  Female students who felt overwhelmed by all they had to do:

TB 66%
Actual 41%


 3.  Male students who felt overwhelmed by all they had to do:

TB 57%
Actual 18%



 4.  Want to become accomplished in a performing art:

TB  22%
Actual 17%



 5.  Identify as white:

TB 78%
Actual 70%


 6.  Agree that "racial discrimination is no longer a major problem in America"

 TB 56%
Actual 23%




 7.  Believe that individuals can do little to bring about change in society:

TB 46%
Actual 28%
