What issues do I address?

You pay a lot for your education and therefore have to make sure you are getting the best value for money possible. Each course will have different issues and concerns, but as a brief guide, below are some of the questions that are asked on a regular basis.

• Course content/structure - Is there enough time allocated to each topic? Is the content included in that course relevant? Should there be any structure improvement for example the topic order, longer/shorter introductions?

• Teaching methods - Should there be more lectures? Less classes? More handouts? Or less use of overheads?

• Facilities - Are your classes too crowded? Are your classrooms adequately equipped?

• Resources - Are the book supplies in the library sufficient? Are there computers with the relevant software installed? Is the use of core textbooks adequate?

• Assessment - Are the methods of assessment clear? Are you receiving assessments back in time to use feedback for other work? If feedback useful?
