Semester 1, 2007
The Student Feedback on Courses (SFC) results for Semester 1, 2007 are included below. The data is aggregated to the four-digit Field of Education (FOE) level. The SFC instrument uses a five point scale with one representing 'strongly disagree' and five representing 'strongly agree'. The tables below provide the aggregated mean score for each item on the survey instrument. Tables are grouped by the broad, two-digit FOE evaluated during the Semester 1, 2007 data collection period. The broad FOE structures are:
Agriculture, Environment and Related Studies (Broad FOE: 05)
Architecture and Building (Broad FOE: 04)
Creative Arts (Broad FOE: 10)
Education (Broad FOE: 07)
Engineering and Related Technologies (Broad FOE: 03)
Health (Broad FOE: 06)
