Chapter 2 Demographics

The following tables reflect some demographic information about the student respondents who completed the SGU Communications Success questionnaire. Note that there are some discrepancies in the numbers because some students may have forgotten to select an answer to a demographic question. Some questions may have needed an additional response option or two to correctly classify the student. After the “Breakdown of Respondents by School” table, information in all other tables is for SOM and SVM students because they are our main test-taker population.

Note. Some students did not complete this question, which is probably because an additional category or two was need to correctly classify respondents.
