Student Opinion Survey ( 4-Year) Graphics Report For

UNIV OF WYOMING

Prepared by ACT Survey Research Services 05/23/12

This report contains pie charts and bar graphs for selected items for your college and for a national normative sample. For all Likert scale items (e.g., 5-point Satisfaction scale), data are displayed for your institution's top and bottom five items as well as the five items with the greatest and least

differences for your institution in comparison with national normative data. Please note percentages may not add to 100 due to the effect of rounding.

The "National Norms" used in this report are based on 33,044 student records from 31 public postsecondary institutions that administered the ACT Student Opinion Survey between

January 1, 2007 and June 30, 2010. Normative data of this type are often referred to as "user norms," because they simply represent a composite of the data obtained by a number of institutions that administered the instrument during a particular period of time. See the "Normative Data Report" for the Student Opinion Survey for more information concerning the nature of the national norms sample.
