University of Canberra/Student satisfaction

University student satisfaction
at the University of Canberra:
A class-exercise survey

This 2010 university student satisfaction data was systematically sampled from 300 University of Canberra students, as a class exercise for Survey research and design in psychology. For more information about the methodology and some other results, including a graph of the means shown below, please see http://ucspace.canberra.edu.au/display/7126/Research (2010-2011) and Survey research and design in psychology/Assessment/Project (2012-2013).

The data is based on a convenience sample of 300 students who were systematically sampled from the campus concourse area in Weeks 1 to 4, Sem 1, 2010. Links to data for 2011-2013 are at the end.

Some limitations of this data include:

  • Representativeness
    • e.g., part-time students were less likely to be on campus and therefore were less likely to be sampled
    • Approx. 20% of the sample consists of students enrolled in a third year research methods in psychology unit

1 Degree discontinued. Not informed that I would need to complete it by July 2010 until the end of 2009. Some subjects: sometimes lectures don't record and students relying on the recording miss the lecture for that week.
2 Disabled access around campus. Going from building 12 to building 9 is very difficult without the ability to climb stairs. Building 5 is a very tiring building. Not being able to open windows is horrible. Computer access in library is terrible.
3 Student union. Some lectures are rubish.
4 Parking: Too many students at uni. No parking available for all. Computers: No computers available for all.
5 Some of the hours that lectures are on - too late in the evening. The parking.
6 Poor course structure and planning Study materials no prepared nor provided as agreed by the lecturer
7 Layout of University No free workstations in the library
8 Layout of University
9 Poor course structure and planning Poor academic skills program
10 None yet!

33 clashes in timetable cost and constant change of textbooks
34 timetable clashes the cost of textbooks is alot
35 closing the pub large assessment components
36
37 I'm pretty happy with everything - maybe refactory I would like to have halal food restaurant at uni.
38 I still find getting around campus a little frustrating Sadly the library is stocked with too many old books, too few computers and decent study areas with poor furniture - there is nothing ergonomic.
39 Overcrowded lectures unable to get preferences in course selection
40 Stats lecturer slightly crazy, goes off topic frequently and doesn't get through the whole lecture content. Lack of decent cafes/aesthetically pleasing places to eat.

49 the unorganised course enrollments (too many people in one lecture) timetable hours (late nights)
50 parking is scarce
51 Library recourses are limted including limited acsess to online journal articles, often can find an abstract but not a full article repeatative content of compulsary units to previous other compulsary units in the course without much of an increase in depth coming into 3rd year

72 Parking Moodle server failing
73 oodle - Sometimes it has glitches and doesn't work properly Library books - There is never enough of the books for large classes, so the books I need are always unavailable
