Student feedback
Read what students say about studying General Education courses, and the positive impact it had on their study experiences.
- “I loved the course; made me want to wake up early in the morning!”
- “Really good course for a General Education paper; makes you see the world from a completely different point of view.”
- “I really enjoyed this subject as it was something I would never have done otherwise. It was fun and valuable.”
- “The professors were exceptional: entertaining and engaging.”
We survey students from a third of the General Education courses each semester.
We ask students the standard questions in the University Course Questionnaire, plus specific questions about General Education.
We pass summary feedback to the staff involved in teaching and coordinating the General Education programme, to see what we can improve.
For example, students told us they needed more information about each course to help them decide which ones to take. So we updated our web pages with greater detail about the course content.
