Student Testimonials

While compiling student and graduate surveys and extrapolating statistics, I wondered what words the students used most in their testimonials. Suddenly it hit me: Wordle!

From www.wordle.net: “Wordle is a toy for generating “word clouds” from text that you provide. The clouds give greater prominence to words that appear more frequently in the source text.”

I copied all of the testimonials students had given over the past half a dozen years or so – over 4,000 words – and plugged them into Wordle to see what were the most frequent.

The result was astounding:
