Assignment Task
BACKGROUND:
Surveys were sent to over 700 college seniors representing 23 major universities in the United States. These are all students who are preparing to graduate this spring. Each student completed a short (14-item) Likert-type survey. The purpose of the survey was to determine their optimism regarding their readiness and likelihood of obtaining a job after graduation that is consistent with their education and professional goals.

Description of 3 data files:
1.Job Prep Demographics
This file contains information on all students who consented to be in the study. We have assigned each participant a unique three-digit ID to protect student confidentiality. We have also assigned each university a school code, also to maintain their anonymity. For each student you will find their age and gender. This information has been categorized under five general categories: humanities (includes arts, history, philosophy, etc.), social sciences (includes anthropology, psychology, sociology, etc.), natural sciences(includes biology, chemistry, physics, etc.), formal sciences (includes mathematics, statistics, and computer science), and applied sciences (includes business, engineering, and medical disciplines).
2.Job Prep GPA Data
This file contains the same information as the job prep demographics file, excepting discipline category. It also contains the first and second semester GPAs of the students during their senior year, as well as how many credits they took each of these semesters. We thought that the average of the two semester GPAs might be the best measure to use as an indicator of academic performance when answering the first two research questions.
3.Job Prep Survey Results
This file includes the assigned ID followed by the responses on each of the 14 Likert items using a six-point scale. After accounting for reverse-scored items (items # 4, 9, 12, and 13), we use the sum as an indicator of optimism about future job prospects, with higher scores indicating greater optimism that after graduation the student will find a job that matches their educational attainment and expectations. Obviously not every student who consented to be in the study returned a survey, but we were quite pleased with the response rate of 72%.
