GSW Sociology professor publishes
incoming freshmen survey
During Fall
2009, 363 incoming freshmen at Georgia Southwestern State University
(GSW) completed a comprehensive survey conducted by Dr. Paul Shapiro,
associate professor of sociology.
In addition to basic demographics, the questionnaire focused on the students' previous high school experiences, their decision to attend GSW, their interest in various student organizations and activities, their perceptions of the academic process, professors, classroom behavior, studying, grades, on-line courses, their sense of academic entitlement, cheating, their self-assessed academic (and social) abilities, and their attitudes towards a number of contemporary social issues.
