The table illustrates the percentage of students at McGill University who rated five different aspects of the institution positively in surveys conducted in 2005, 2010 and 2015.
Overall, student services experienced dramatic growth, while the range of modules offered consistently declined. Teaching quality and library resources fluctuated slightly but remained at relatively high levels, and sports and social facilities showed no change during the period.
In 2005, teaching quality was rated positively by 74% of students, dipping slightly to 72% in 2010 before rising to 78% in 2015, marking the highest figure for this category. Library resources were consistently among the best-rated aspects, increasing from 86% in 2005 to a peak of 88% in 2010, before a marginal drop to 87% in 2015.
Student services showed the most dramatic growth, starting at only 54% in 2005 but soaring to 81% in 2010 and reaching a remarkable 95% in 2015. By contrast, the range of modules offered declined continuously, falling from 39% in 2005 to 31% in 2010, and then to just 25% in 2015 — the lowest rating across all categories in the final year.
Sports and social facilities received stable ratings of 65% in all three survey years, indicating no change in student perception over the decade.
