QUT provides a learning environment where students and staff work together to create successful learning outcomes.
Proactive communication between students and staff about what makes good teaching and learning is essential to achieving these outcomes. The QUT Evaluation Scheme offers a variety of ways for students and staff to make a difference to learning at QUT.
The major student evaluation survey of teaching and units, the Learning Experience Survey (LEX), is at the heart of the scheme.
Course and experience surveys provide opportunities for you to give feedback on your courses and broad experiences at QUT.
To avoid over-surveying students, course level surveys are conducted over a three year cycle. The following surveys will gather feedback and help us to understand the student experience.
- The First Year Experience Survey (FYES) focuses on transition to university and experiences of first year students.
- The Mid Year Experience Survey (MYES) focuses on the experiences of services and courses of second year / mid-course students.
- The Exit Year Experience Survey (EYES) focuses on capstone and transition out of university experiences of students identified as eligible for graduation in the survey year.
The FYES will be administered first, in 2007, the EYES in 2008, then the MYES in 2009.
The First Year Experience Survey (FYES) was available to first year students from Week 3 Semester 2, 2007. This survey provided an opportunity for first year students to provide feedback on their initial experiences of courses, curriculum and learning environments.
An Orientation Survey was conducted in Semester 1, 2007 to obtain feedback from first year students on their Orientation experiences. This feedback will help us streamline the transition from high school, work life or home life into the world of QUT. Feedback from this survey is being analysed, however examples of issues raised and our responses to them have been identified.
TellQUT is an online suggestion box for you to provide general feedback on all aspects of the University.
The QUT Student Evaluation Surveys are all online.
The feedback you give is confidential. Teachers and other faculty staff receive no student names or student identifying information with survey results.
