The final Ultra Vires Toronto Summer 2019 Recruitment Special is available here:
Every year, Ultra Vires surveys 2Ls on a variety of demographic and recruitment data. This survey presents the Class of 2020 data. Thank you to everyone who completed the survey.
The below is self-reported survey data, so the usual caveats apply (see “Grades and Such”). This year, we had 117 individual responses from a class size of about 200, for an ~58.5% response rate.
For privacy reasons, every effort was made to keep datasets from being identifiable. Given the breadth and depth of the questions asked (and answers reported), there was a large risk that individual students could be identified through a combination of demographic factors, which could then link them to their remaining responses. As such, before any analysis was done, responses were separated into the distinct categories being examined so as to prevent cross-referencing. For example, when looking at age, a separate spreadsheet was created that contained only age data, with all other responses having been deleted. Similar measures were taken with all the analysis that was performed to minimize the risk of students’ responses being linked to their identities.
Survey results are available starting on page 10.
