The table illustrates the proportion of first-year students across three courses who responded ‘very good’ when evaluating the college’s resources.
What is the most striking is the consistently superior satisfaction levels reported by commerce students, who outranked their peers in every single category surveyed. By comparison, the feedback from economics students revealed the most significant disparity between the highest and lowest rated resources, while law students generally offered more moderate assessment, neither reaching the highs of commerce nor falling to the lows seen in some economics categories.
Regarding first-year commerce students who were the most satisfied with all categories, the majority of them ( over 90%) gave a ‘very good’ rating for pre-course information, teaching, and tutor, closely followed by printed resources (86%). However, unspecified other resources were still viewed favorably by a substantial percentage of students in this field, at 81%.
The most significant discrepancy between these resources was seen in economics students, with at least 90% of them rating teaching and tutors as very good, compared to just over 80% who voted the printed resources as very good. By contrast, only around 60% of economics students received a modest assessment with pre-course information and other resources, broadening the gap between the three resources above.
As for law students, other resources were more positively received, with 80% giving satisfactory ratings ( the highest category among law students). Around 70% of them found their printing, pre-course information, and tutors to be at a very good standard, while the teaching only received satisfactory ratings with 62%.
