At the conclusion of their first term at Ohio University, learning community participants completed an extensive survey evaluating their experience.

During the summer sessions of Bobcat Student Orientation (BSO), all incoming first-term students participated in a "Student Success" session, utilizing hand-held electronic devices ("clickers") to answer a series of questions regarding their readiness for attending Ohio University. The data collected during the three weeks (15 sessions) is here.
