The table illustrates the proportion of first-year students rating college resources as ‘very good’ across three academic courses: Economics, Law, and Commerce.
Overall, Commerce consistently received the highest satisfaction ratings across most categories, whereas Law recorded the lowest scores, particularly in teaching. Economics showed a mixed pattern, with notably low satisfaction in pre-course information but the highest possible score in teaching alongside Commerce.
In detail, Commerce achieved the maximum rating of 95% in both pre-course information and teaching, with its tutor support and printed resources also rated highly at 93% and 85%, respectively. Other resources received 81%. In contrast, Law students gave their lowest rating to teaching (62%), the poorest score across all measures in the table. Law’s highest figure was for other resources (80%), which exceeded its pre-course information rating of 72% – a pattern not seen in the other courses.
Economics presented a more varied profile. While its teaching matched Commerce’s top score of 95%, its pre-course information was the lowest of all at just 59%. Tutor support was rated 90%, printed resources 81%, and other resources 60%, placing Economics generally above Law but below Commerce in most categories.
