Based on a Likert scale: 0 = Strongly Disagree, 5 = Indifferent, 10 = Strongly Agree
Interestingly, the mean and median response varied substantially in several cases, due to low ratings of an
isolated group. Problems with this group arose because of a change in project scope that arose mid-way through the
development of the system. The students were frustrated by having to redesign the system because of an issue that
should have been identified earlier in the process.
5.0 Client Perceptions Of Experiential Learning Project
Client perceptions were also measured with a zero to 10-point Likert scale, with 0 corresponding to
“strongly disagree,” 5 corresponding to “indifferent,” and 10 corresponding to “strongly agree.” Client perceptions
of the project experience are presented in Table 4. Responses were received for nine of the eleven projects.
Surveys were addressed to the individual who had the most project contact within the organization. As shown in
Table 4, the clients were quite satisfied with the overall project experience, as all statements had a median response
of nine or 10 indicating strong agreement.
