Unanswered Question
Are universities and/or colleges in Surrey also seeing an increase in the number of classes and classes with educational assistants?
How would you get the data?
The Government
of British Columbia website provides class size information from 2006 to 2019
in BC. It consists of statistics of the composition of BC public school classes
by Province, District, and School level and includes the average class size for
kindergarten through grade 12. It also includes the number of reported classes
that have assigned Education Assistants, the number of reported schools, the
number of reported classes, and the number of reported classes with more than
30 students.
Although universities/colleges may be more difficult to
gather information due to size, the City of Surrey Open Data portal does
provide a dataset that examines post-secondary enrollment from 2009-2017 for KPU and SFU. What I
could do to answer this question is to compare enrollment in public Surrey
schools at the district level with enrollment for post-secondary institutions. Or,
another means to answer my question would be to narrow down from universities and
colleges and simply look at the two universities located in Surrey (KPU and SFU). Moving
forward, I could speak to a representative from both institutions that work in
admissions to help me get class sizes and classes with educational assistants (knowing that the equivalent of an educational assistant at the university level is a TA).
I definitely love your chart, it's clear that how the data changed and it looks nice. Interesting unanswered question, and it's clear that how to get the data and what kind of data could answer the question. Nice job!
ReplyDeleteHi Simran, great job on the update. One thing I really liked was your unanswered question. I think it would be interesting to learn more about that. One thing I think you can improve is the chart colour. Maybe try using a different combination than the default one. Overall, great work!
