• Student evaluations of teaching: the impact of faculty procedures on response rates

  Assessment & Evaluation in Higher Education · 2018-04-30 · 44 citations

  article

  In the last 10–15 years, many institutions of higher education have switched from paper-and-pencil methods to online methods of administering student evaluations of teaching (SETs). One consequence has been a significant reduction in the response rates to such instruments. The current study was conducted to identify whether offering in-class time to students to complete online SETs would increase response rates. A quasi-experiment (nonequivalent group design) was conducted in which one group of…

• Influence of demographics and motivational factors on US consumer clothing and shoes disposal behavior

  Research Journal of Textile and Apparel · 2019-06-26 · 15 citations

  article

  Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study clothing and shoes disposal behavior of US consumers in an attempt to understand how to divert more clothing and shoes from the landfill. Design/methodology/approach A survey was administered to 209 consumers from the general US population. The survey includes questions on demographics, methods of disposal and factors that motivate or prevent consumers from choosing methods other than throwing unwanted clothing in the trash. Findings Analysis of demo…

• Logistics of carpet recycling in the U.S.: designing the collection network

  Journal of the Textile Institute · 2018-06-04 · 9 citations

  article

  Efficient collection of post-consumer carpet is an important part of the carpet recycling process that helps to reduce the cost of recycled materials as well as provide sufficient volumes of carpet for recycling facilities. This paper focuses on the design of a collection network for carpet in the U.S. The location set covering optimization model formulated in the paper allows locating the minimum number of collection centers throughout the U.S. to reach a specific level of population coverage a…
