The 2008 Student Survey

The report on the 2008 Student Survey is published - a last! The survey aimed to find out e.g what the degree students think about teaching and learning at SAMK. The students were asked also how they rate their well-being.

In total 1,265 students, i.e. 25 % of all students gave their feedback. The percentage is not high, but the absolute numbers are. Most of the students felt that SAMK is a good place to study. But, as said in the survey abstract, "inspite of the statistical research method - - - it is important to also pay attention to the minority views, so that we can find means of strenthening the students' motivation and commitment, for example - for those issues often play a role in the delays in studies and in dropping out".

The report of the survey will soon be on the net (and I shall add a link to it). The report is written in Finnish, but the abstract is also in English.

Feedback is given. Let's use it.
