Student feedback

Feedback from students is obtained through the subject's representative on the Department of Mathematics and Statistics Staff-Student Liaison Committee (SSLC) questionnaire and through the university-wide student Quality of Teaching (QoT) form.

Students in 2006 reported through the SSLC questionnaire that the pace of delivery lies somewhere between about right and a bit difficult; that tutorials are useful; that printed material provided was helpful; and expressed confidence of success subject ot a reasonable amount of effort. From the central QoT form, a few students indicated a desire for more feedback on progress.

The SSLC report for 2007 is now available (password-locked PDF file).
