UMaine President summarizes highlights of first spring flash survey
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The University of Maine (UMaine) and University of Maine at Machias (UMM) conducted a first spring flash survey at the end of the second week of classes. Students were asked what concerns they had and what student services they would like to see added or expanded. Some highlights of the responses: Mental health is the top concern for UMaine undergraduate and graduate students, and among the top for UMM. When asked what student services they would like to see added or expanded, students most commonly mentioned counseling and mental health services, and general academic support (including tutoring services, more places to study/join remote classes on campus, and more lenient institutional grading policies). Also at the top of the concerns for UMaine undergraduate respondents were grades and maintaining relationships with friends. For graduate students, in addition to mental health, top concerns were contracting COVID-19 and getting a job upon graduation. For UMM, students also were concerned about getting a job and paying for school. Just over one quarter of UMaine undergraduate respondents and just over one third of UMM undergraduate respondents indicated food insecurity was somewhat of a concern or a concern.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
