English courses scored highest and advisors lowest
in a five-part frsshman survey conducted during the
1973-74 academic year at UNL.
The survey, compiled this summer by UNL
Coordinator of Freshman 'Programming Jim O'Hanion,
included four questionnaires to freshmen, students and
one to their parents,
English courses met freshman approval : mostly
because of their small size, O'Hanion said.
Students overwhelmingly said they like small
classes: they iearn more and feel more comfortable in
them and they think it important that the students and
the teacher know one another, O'Hanion said.
Common common compaints against advisors
include: "advisors don't care about their students,"
"advisors have too many advisees to do the job well,"
and "more orientation and information on courses are
needed?' '
Freshmen said they would like, a conference with
their advisors within the f irst week of classes, O'Hanion
said. Information collected indicated very little
student-advisor contact in freshmen's first semester at
UNL, he said.
O'Hanion said Chancellor James Zumberge is
collecting information so he may organize the advising
system to give students more time with their advisors,
and make it a more continuous, natural relationship.
Parents' responses paralleled that of their sons or
daughters closely, O'Hanion-said. 'Most reports
indicated parents were pleased with UNL, he said.
They most liked the Student Assistant program in all
UNL dormitories.
Freshmen responses were also favoable overall, he
said. Most said they developed new interests and
learning skills, they were challenged, and they expect
their stay on campus wil continue to be enjoyable.
Reactions to the UNL Health Center were either very
positive or very negative, O'Hanion said. He
speculated the attitudes depended on each student's
personal encouter with the center.
Any criticisms against teachers were based on the
instructors' unfriendliness or failure to prepare for
cent had that contact with two instructors, and 13 per
Two per cent of the freshmen said they had
one-to-one contact with five or more teachers, 30 per
cent had that contact with two instructors, and 13 per
cent had no such contact with any instructor.
Lack of contact, study-habit adjustments and
difficulty learning to use Love Library were most
commonly listed problems among freshmen.
