The table given illustrates how first-year students giving good ratings for different fields who take courses in a particular university changed in 2000, 2005 and 2010.
Overall, students giving good ratings of teaching quality, print resources and electronic resources increased, otherwise, students giving good ratings of the range of modules offered recorded a decline. Meanwhile, a fluctuation was seen in buildings facilities. Another key feature is that both print resources and electronic resources had the highest good ratings while the least was the range of modules offered during the research time.
In 2000, students giving good ratings for print resources accounted for 84%, ranking first compared to the other four aspects’ figures. This figure rose dramatically to 88% in 2010 and still remains as the field with the highest students gave good ratings. Similarly, an increase is seen in good feedback for teaching quality which also climbed by 4% throughout the period. Additionally, electronic resources experienced the most significant growth, starting at 45% in 2000 and up to 88% in 2010, tied for first rank with print resources.
Regarding the range of modules offered, the percentage of students giving good feedback consistently declined, falling from 32% in 2000 to just 27% in 2010, ranking last throughout the survey. By contrast, the figure for teaching facilities remained unchanged, at 77% students in all years.
