We have been following UK practice to conduct the Mid-Point Survey and End-Point Survey in every module since AY23/24. Our KPI is to reach at least 60% completion rate which we still have not yet achieved. From the feedback from academics, we will now start to publish both Mid-Point and End-Point Survey in the beginning of the term which will allow you to decide the suitable periods to conduct the survey with students. We hope this will improve the completion rate. You can also monitor and view the data while conducting the surveys by accessing the Qualtrics portal – please click here. If you are not familiar where the surveys are located, here is the information again. Both mid-point surveys and end-point surveys will be assigned to all modules on Canvas. This will allow students to provide their module feedback via Canvas. The surveys will be imported into the ‘Assignments” tab. Please note that these will be repeated every term for collection of evaluation data as required by the University. [Let us do the survey in week 6] **** * dissertation sample in Google Drive. |
