How does the University use the student feedback?
Analysis of rated questions and open-ended comments provides important information to the University about students’ experience of learning and teaching. Results are reported to University committees and to faculties and service divisions.
What happens next?
The Pro Vice-Chancellor(Education) meets with each faculty dean and senior staff to review what students have said and what is planned in response. Student feedback is used to help determine University and faculty priorities for the next year.
Staff Resources for Survey Promotion
Staff can do a lot to help students understand the importance of the Learning and Teaching Survey, and every year the Academic Quality Office creates resources to assist staff to communicate with students about the survey. The PowerPoint slides about the survey (below) can be shown to classes, and information will be posted on the University website and on Canvas for students to see.
More about the survey
We ask a random (representative) sample of students for feedback on their experience at the University, so if you have been invited please let us know what you think, so we can build on what we’re getting right and make improvements where things aren’t working.
Questions have an emphasis on the learning and teaching aspects of students’ experience University as well as social factors which support students’ learning. Survey results are reported in aggregate to faculties each year and assist faculties to set priorities and areas of focus in learning and teaching.
