When boiled down to a final question, 81% of students and 87% of all survey takers felt that Plans was "an effective means of communication." While it is obviously not a simple black-and-white question, overall, the consensus seems to say that Plans is good for communicating. This is a vitally important fact. Regardless of it satisfying the requirements for a community, Plans users must believe it is a good form of communication and use it as such for it to function at its best. Thus, it seems that Plans effectively supplements the Grinnell College community with the addition of alumni, faculty, and staff. On top of that, distinct cultural features (such as Plans-only jargon) are distinctly linked to Plans and are not found independently of Plans. In the end, I can only agree with the 87% of survey takers, so I add my voice to the din in saying, "Plans is an effective means of communication."
