From page 76... ... Although in both figures there is a significant positive correlation between program size and reputational rating, it is quite apparent that some of the smaller programs received high mean ratings and some of the larger programs received low mean ratings. Table 5.4 describes the 177 faculty members who participated in the evaluation of geoscience programs. Read the entire page →
From page 77... ... To assist the reader in interpreting results of the survey evaluations, estimated standard errors have been computed for mean ratings of the scholarly quality of faculty in 91 geoscience programs (and are given in Table 5.1~. For each program the mean rating and an associated "confidence interval" of 1.5 standard errors are illustrated in Figure 5.3 (listed in order of highest to lowest mean rating) Read the entire page →
