PAUL GRAYSON  \nYork University  \nABSTRACT  \nIt is frequently assumed that the student experience, and, by implication, student program satisfaction, improves over the course of a university education. A four-year panel study of students at a large commuter university indicates some improvements in assessments of professor performance and GPA between first and fourth year; however, satisfaction with academic programs remains more or less the same across all four years of study.  \nStructural equation modelling was employed to estimate the relationships among professor performance, GPA, and program satisfaction within, and between, each of the four years of study. Contrary to expectations based on some conventional models, it was found that studentsʼ assessments of professors were not affected by GPA; conversely, professor performance had little impact on GPA. By contrast, student satisfaction was related to both GPA and professor performance. The greatest predictor of studentsʼ program satisfaction, however, was neither GPA nor professor performance, but program satisfaction in the previous year. This finding suggests that underlying  \n2 J.

Sur une période de quatre, lʼétude réaliséeauprès dʼun groupe dʼétudiants dʼune grande université à population majoritairement externe montre une certaine amélioration delʼévaluation de la performance des professeurs et de la MPC entre la première et la quatrième année, mais la satisfaction à lʼégard du programme universitaire reste à peu près la même pendant les quatre années de lʼétude.  \nNous avons utilisé la modélisation par équation structurelle pour estimer le rapport entre la performance du professeur, la MPC et la satisfaction à lʼégard du programme dans les quatre années dʼétudes et dʼune année à lʼautre. Contrairement aux attentes fondées sur quelques modèles conventionnels, nous avons constaté que la MPC nʼinfluençait pas la cote donnée au professeur par lʼétudiant; réciproquement, la performance du professeur avait peu dʼeffet sur la MPC. La satisfaction de lʼétudiant, en revanche, était liée à la fois à la MPC et à la performane du professeur. Le meilleur prédicteur de la satisfaction dʼun étudiant à lʼégard du programme, toutefois, nʼétait ni laMPCnila performance du professeur, maisla satisfaction exprimée à lʼégard du programme lʼannée précédente. Cette conclusion suggère que les traits de personnalité sous-jacents sont probablement plus responsables de la satisfaction exprimée à lʼégard du programme que la MPC et la performance du professeur.  \nThe Canadian Journal of Higher Education Volume XXXIV, No. 2, 2004  \nRelationship Between Grades and Academic Program Satisfaction 3  \nINTRODUCTION  \nIt is a common assumption in many universities that the quality of the student experience improves between first year and graduation. For one thing, because of decreasing student faculty ratios, the possibility of having small classes and contact with professors increases as students make their way up the academic ladder. For another, students become increasingly more knowledgeable of university folkways and, as a result, can make their way through the system with increasing competence. The limited amount of research that has been carried out on changes in studentsʼ experiences gives cautious support to assumptions such as these (Terenzini & Wright, 1987) . As a result, it is reasonable to expect changes in studentsʼ satisfaction with various aspects of their educa","cbCaid9E7qDv56qE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaid9E7qDv56qE","pdf",287943,34,"English","# Abstract\n# Introduction\n# Integration / Involvement","[{\"question\":\"Does GPA improve and affect program satisfaction over the four years?\",\"answer\":\"Assessments of GPA improve between first and fourth year, but program satisfaction remains more or less the same across all four years.
