The table illustrates the figure for “very good” votes of freshmen for five resources, namely Pre-course information, Teaching, Tutor, Resources (Print), and Other resources, provided by the college for Economics, Law, and Commerce course.
Overall, the most striking feature is that both Economics and Commerce were rated equally highest for teaching, while Commerce outperformed the other courses in nearly all remaining categories. Law was notable for attracting the highest proportion of “very good” ratings among the other resources.
Looking first at the commerce course, which was voted “very good” for most of its resources. Only in this course did both pre-course information and teaching have the highest proportion of “very good” ratings, and this number was 95%, slightly higher than that of the Tutor, with 93%. Trailing closely, 86% and 81% of freshmen praised resources (print) and other resources, respectively.
In contrast, Law received a relatively average figure for “very good” ratings. Other resources dominated the other categories, with 80%. Next in the list was the tutor, which ranked second with 76%, followed by Pre-course information and Resources (print), whose figures were roughly the same, with about 70%. Finally, Teaching was rated lowest, with just 62% of students.
Turning to the remaining course, only in Economics were there different disparities ranging from about 5% to 20%. The highest figure was recorded in Teaching, at 95%. Following closely behind, the proportion for “excellent” ratings in the Tutor was 90%, surpassing Resources (Print) by about 10%. Meanwhile, the figure for Other resources and pre-course information was merely the same, with 60%. It is notable that this percentage highlighted the largest disparity with the highest one, with approximately 35%.
