Fall 2014 Day of Vision Evaluation
Executive Summary Results of the November 1, 2014, Day of Vision evaluations are presented below. The evaluation
instrument consisted of one survey with three sections—first section for all to complete, second section
for students to complete, and third section for parents to complete. The survey included three
demographic questions, two yes/no items, four event evaluation items, using a four-point Likert-type
scale, and one open-ended question to allow for comments. Additionally, respondents were provided a
list of sessions for session attendance identification with a blank line to record the session they found
most useful (copy of survey attached in Appendix). Responses include 219 students and 174 parents.
Findings indicated the following:
Respondents were highly satisfied with the overall experience. More than 90% of respondents
(91% students, 99% parents) reported they either “Liked it” (55% students, 65% parents) or
“Loved it” (36% students, 34% parents). Of those who provided a response to each question,
98% of student respondents and 100% of parent respondents indicated that they would
recommend the program to others, while 97% of students and 99% of parents indicated that the
program met their expectations.
A majority of respondents indicated satisfaction with the break-out sessions. The student
sessions were well-regarded, with 83% of student respondents indicating they either liked (57%)
or loved (26%) these sessions. Parents were very pleased with their sessions, with 97%
indicating they either liked (64%) or loved (33%) the session offerings. Parents rated the
financial aid information at 97%, with respondents indicating they either liked (67%) or loved
(30%) this session.
With regard to the Tables of Interest, 71% of students either liked (54%) or loved (17%) the
information provided. Parents responded slightly higher with 73% indicating they liked (59%) or
loved (14%) the information provided.
Students made up 56% of the combined respondent pool. Among students, attendance was
primarily older students with the following breakdown: 9th graders (12%), 10th graders (16%),
11th graders (34%), and 12th graders (35%), with another 4% that selected “other.” These
included a 7th grader, five 8th graders, and one in college.

A majority of student respondents were female (55%). Males made up 45% of the respondent
pool. The parent group was comprised of 69% female respondents compared to 30% for males.
One percent elected not to respond.
Two sessions were repeatedly listed by student respondents as the most useful: Show Me the
Money – Scholarship Essay and ACT – Test Preparation. The parent respondents selected Tulsa
Achieves as the most useful session, followed by Preparing Your Child for College. A number of
students and parents indicated that they enjoyed both sessions that they attended.
As to suggestions for improvement, several student respondents gave some variation of “It
great how it is,” “It was a wonderful learning experience,” or “Nothing, honestly, really
enjoyable” as a response. The word “more” appeared in a number of responses: as in, “More
sessions,” “More time in class,” “More tables of interest” and other responses generally
indicating a desire for more exposure to the Day of Vision material. Student respondents also
expressed an interest in financial advice. Some participants suggested interactive or hands-on
activities, better navigation on campus, and having counselors to talk to.
Parent respondents made comments such as, “Very informative, I learned a lot,” “Everything is
perfect” and “Nothing, very well organized.” The word “more” appeared in the parent section as
well, as in “More tables of interest,” “Would like to attend more sessions,” and “More time in
break-out sessions.” Some participants suggested information on concurrent enrollment for
students, handouts with bullet points, and one-on-one Q&A time.
Results of the student and parent Day of Vision surveys are depicted in the following tables and graphs.

What would improve this event? (student perspective)
A bit longer sessions ACT Study Guides and more detailed course descriptions-I wanted Digital Media, I got
journalism
Added more sessions
Be able to attend 3 or 4 sessions
Being able to attend more than two sessions
Consider adding programs showing student what classes offer arts or broaden selection.
Directions during the STEM session, have the speaker talk more of the technology side of it (ex.
Computer Science)
Enthusiastic, awesome teachers like [name removed] who made her session easy and fun!
Everything was great!
Explaining
Explaining scholarships for careers
Fine the way it is now
Food
Getting to know the people who attended
Having more and enough room for everybody in every class or session.
Having more counselors to talk to
Having say first or second year TCC students give insight on how the first year is
helping us sign up for financial aid
I believe that everyone did a good job! I wish I could've seen more presentations
I did understand but it was a little hard
I didn't arrive with any expectations, so I was not disappointed. :) It was fun.
I don't know
I think kids need a bigger variety of places to go
I thought it was all great.
I would make sure to have a volunteer for each program
If they catered more to the top of the class and not the bottom
It was a wonderful learning experience
It was amazing? Nothing
It's great how it is
Later in the day (2)
Learning more about what we need to do to be college ready
Less talking more showing
Longer sessions Make break-out sessions more hands on. There needs to be less lecturing and more
interaction
Maybe a practice ACT for the ACT prep
Maybe the tables of interest they weren't really that interesting
More / [?] teachers about engineering
More food (2)
More fun
More information (3) More or just hands on activity. I am very hands on therefore I was very fidgety throughout
the lecture.
More people allowed to come and enjoy the experience
More resources about financial aid and after college life.
More session opportunities
More sessions (2)

More supervisors per event
More tables of interest (3)
More talking less joking around. More important topics
more time in class / smaller classes
More time in each session
More time in the classes
More time in the sessions

n/a
None (2)
Nothing (3)
Nothing :)
Nothing everything is great! :)
Nothing honestly; really enjoyable
Nothing really
Nothing that I have seen so far needs improving
Nothing, I enjoyed everything each class had to say
Presenters should interact more with students
Psychology, neuroscience, etc.
Shorter breakouts with the opportunity to take 3 sessions for only 20-30 minutes
Signs on how to get to the next section
Sorry I don't know
Start it later in the day. Otherwise the information is pretty good.
Talk more about scholarships
Talk to people to figure out your future field
Telling student about what frat houses there are.
That it is a learning experience for everyone
The only thing is less of a scare of trying to find places.
The start you didn't have anything to do
Three break-out sessions instead of 2.
Timing
Tour of facilities
Websites with more information or helpful tools pertaining to the class

Go to college and learn more

Little more time in break out session
Make it a full day-I would have liked to attend more sessions.
More interest tables
Move areas of interest My ethnicity is not my daughter's perhaps another question in child's ethnicity would be important for
diversity?
n/a
None (2)
Nothing Nothing very well organized. Loved that it was just 1/2 day. My daughter tried it even though I had to
drag her out of bed.
Offer more session for parents to attend like 4 instead of only 2
One-on-one Q&A time
Possibly a longer day for parent and student to attend more sessions
Preparing Your Child for College needed better structure
Seat cushions :)
Shorter time in between sessions; handouts outlining (bullet points) of session information
Some classes with parent and student
Spanish info more specific
Tables of interest very lacking. All interest should be as big as Nursing. Science wasn't there
Talk more about what's available for student out of country that can't do Tulsa Achieves There should be sign posted throughout the hallways, as well as people directing parents and student
the travel time was chaotic and confusing. It should also start on time. The 2nd session didn't start on time.
Very informative I learned a lot! I am so glad we attended. [Name removed] was awesome. I did not know about FERPA so glad she explained and re-explained that!
Would have much rather chosen Financial Aid for second session. Would love to have that knowledge
Would like to be able to attend more sessions Would like to get the hand out for "Preparing Your Child for College" before the session instead of after.
Instructor can ask at beginning if everyone has one.
Would like to have seen a table for the drama department
