"The questions were well phrased, but I personally think too much was asked about politics."
I think it is a good questionaire. I hope the results can help!
"There were some very detailed questions, which should definitley be able to assist in the analysis of the university's success."
"I like the fact that the questions were very detailed.Some of them made me question things about myself which, I would normally ignore."
"it helped me to reflect on myself. to see what areas i was lacking in, for example not doing sports. to actually see what my personal view is of certain politics. thanks. "
it got me thinking about things i have naver thought of and i am hope it will be of use thanx a lot
Sometimes it's hard to limit your response to one of the prescribed answers
It was not always clear and did not provide all the answers. I for example am against abortion and see it as a issue and couldn't figure out whether to say yes or no at abortion support because i feel that abortion is of great concern and needs to be adre
The questions on 'top priority issues' in South Africa are unecessary as the moral views of students can be attained through the other questions. Also ideas like abortion etc are dependant on religious and cultural views.
"Okay, though it could be more specific in some areas."
Too many questions that ask the same thing.
Good
Its good as it tries to find out how us first years are coping with all aspects of our every day lives in our first year of higher education learning. Its also shows the difficulties first years have to overcome. Thanks
Many of the questions did not give you the chance to give a meaningful answer (ie. yes/no answers)
"Every questionnaire is obviously trying to look at specific things and it is very hard to get the best possible information from a multiple choice questionnare... one thing that I can see being a driving force behind this questionnare is HUMANISM. Trying
Sometimes the same questiion is asked in a different way. This creates confusion.
Good questionnaire with excellent points addressed. More questions should be asked about emotional and social incorporation into residence.
"very wide aspects, good..."
"satisfied with questionnaire, straight forward and precise"
Good variety of questions. I think that more could have been asked about residence life/staying somewhere else and commuting. Both take up quite a bit of time: residences expect you to put a lot of time inot activities
"Extremely in depth, some questions possibly unneccesary, "
"Though very long, it is very thorough."
some questions seem slightly irrelevant
bit too long
This questionnaire touches on all aspects necessary to assess. It should be effective in analysing and improving already established systems.
It is a useful questionaire that helps students to re-evaluate who they are and what changes needed to be made in their lives.
It an excellent and well thought-off questionnaire. It is of great value
It must look more on deppression since approximately 50 percent of the students(medical students mostly) spend the whole year depressed.
uhm...honestly i didn't find it interesting but if its worth the help of gathering information about first yeats than i do not mind taking part.
This has been a well thought-off survey. Keep it up
fair questions.
"It made me think about some of the things that I never really think about, especially those questions where I have to rate my self. I think the questionniar can help one to re-evaluate themselves,think thoroughly about life as a student and life its-self
i dont have any comments questionnire was fair.
"Questions about SA Society need larger scope forr answers, not always yes/no."
question 105 about same gender weddings is outdated.
relevant questions asked. good in that it allows students to voice their opinion and see change happen for the better on campus
Way too many Questions that were verymain campus oriented
"the questionnaire had straight forward questions that were relevant concerning 1st year students. it also gave me an opportunity to reflect on the year that has past - how i'm coping, what i've done to achieve this far and where am i heading."
Some questions really targets very personal questions which I find interesting but not required
"This was a good questionnaire, it realy gets one person thinking more about the lessons about oneself learned in the first year of university."
"good, fair"
It's very long but helps one to reflect on the activities they've done during the year and what needs to be changed to make a success of the next year.
I think it is a good place to actualy think of the unconcious things and bring them about and do something about it!
"It is well constructed and user friendly, but a little ambigous in one or two questions. Overall, it is a good questionaire"
I think this questionnaire is quite broad and covers all aspects of university life.
this questionnnare is alright just that it it's a bit too long.
Its graet! it helps one evaluate how they feel about thier academic-life and life in general
Some questions I do not have clear cut answers such as Question 102. One needs to explain the reason for either answer.
"It's very comprehensive, but it might be helpful to the university if there was space to write reasons for certain things, such as questions regarding the welcoming programmes."
It helped me reflect my personal values and what I lack. I realised that most of the things I do don't help me much with my studies
i think that this questionnaire was well set uup and has extrmly good points. because setting into the world of studying does become difficultr for some people and once you have answer these questions you will know where you stand. it is very realisstic a
It is too long
Seems Usefull
thanks
Very meaningfull and helped gain insight about certain issues at US.
The topics jump often which makes it a bit confusing however it was a very interesting questionnaire to fill out.
"The questionnaire, personally helps me reflect on my fisrt year of study and allows me to see how far I come from"
It is a well structured questionnaire and would probably recieve the response needed or the information that is seeked from first years. Its a good questionnaire and has well asked questions.
I think it will help the university alot in the future. Knowing how the 1st years of this year is thinking and how they feel about things will help them in imporiving for next year. The questions asked were well thoughout and are revelant to each 1st year
Fair questionnaire that covers the basics of being a first year
It asked very valuable questions and enjoyed taking the survey. The results should be very interesting
Tests a lot of aspects.One can answer each and every single question and thats relatively fair.
very detailed and makes one self reflect
"i think is good way of knowing how we cope with university life.""Thumbs up"" for this,i rate it 100%"
Cool stuff.
highlighting good aspects that firts years face
I feel that it is a great questionnaire as it covers almost all aspects of student life.
It is well-rounded and asks important questions.
Good range of questions.
good things to find improvement or keep on ding well
good
I think this survey covers the broad definition of a student life etc but each individual is unique so the questions answered do not define this person very clearly as there are always factors influencing answers and these might be unclear.
Interesting. I was forced to really think about things one often overlooks.
"It has a very wide range of options, which is good."
Dit is goed deurdenk deurdat dit op toepassing is op enige student.
"Dit gaan lekker vinnig, vrae is geskik op alledaagse studente lewe"
Vrae is goed opgestel en van toepassing.
Die vraelys is te lank. Daar is 'n paar onnodige vrae vir die kursus wat ek loop. Dit sal beter wees as die vraelys aangepas word vir elke kursus.
"Dit is voldoende, dit was lank maar baie goed. Dankie"
"dit was 'n lekker vraelys, het mens self laat dink..."
Die vraelys laat mens nogals dink oor alles en laat mens nogals insig kry oor alles.
Daar word nie genoeg aandag geskenk aan studente se finansiele welstand nie
Ek voel daar moet 'n vraag oor dissipliene in kampus/koshuise in wees - dis huidiglik 'n probleem
I feel at home at Stellenbosch.
Meer opsies moet beskikbaar gestel word by die ja/nee vrae.
"Het nie regtig 'n reaksie nie. Ek dink al die vrae is uiters van pas, en is bly om te sien dat die Universiteit soveel moeite doen!"
"Daar is geen ""middel"" opsies nie - slegs ja of nee - by party vrae wat nie noodwendig van toepassing is nie."
Die vraelys is goed gestruktureerd en billik.
"Ek dink die vraelys vra toepaslike vrae, ek kan van hulp wees in die beter bystand van eerstejaars tov aanpassing"
"interresant. goeie vrae. ek is nie seker of en alles 100% verstaan het nie, al was die vrae baie eenvoudig. my mnening is agter partykeer net effens ingewikkeld en daar word nie voorsienning gemaak vir 'n antwoord wat nie ""ja"" of ""nee"" is nie, maa
"Die vraelys het vir my persoonlik toegelaat om vrae, waaraan ek nie op 'n daaglikse basis dink nie, te beantwoord en as't ware myself konfronteer met die realiteite van student wees en die akademiese- en sosiale uitdagings wat daarmee gepaard gaan. Ek ko
"Dit is gebalanseerd, en redelike vrae is gevra."
Ek dink die vraelys is 'n goeie kontrole oor 'n bree veld
dit seker `n goeie manier vir die US om die inligting te kry
"te lank, maar interessant"
was telank
"Dek 'n bree hoeveelheid vrae wat als van toepassing is op 'n eerste jaar student in enige studie rigting,ras of geslag."
Het my gedwing om bietjie dieper te dink oor koshuis lewe en ook die hele koshuislewe
Die vrae lys was voldoende vir my.
Dit is te veel vrae maar dit is baie noodsaaklik en doeltreffend=)
"VRAAG 94: ""Korrupsie in regeringskringe"" : gaan dit enigsins help as ek ""JA' geantwoord het?"
nuttig
Die vraelys se gebied wat dit dek is redelik goed wat dit effektief maak.
Akademiese hulp is van kardinale belang aangesien die gaping tussen skool en universiteit so groot is
Insigewend!
"Dit dek `n groot deel, maar van die vrae kan dalk misleidend wees waar daar ""Soms - jy het miskien een of meer keer deelgeneem.."" as `n opsie is."
Dit verwys na 'n wye spektrum van situasies en is n goed gebalanseerde lys. Ek glo dat indien mense dit eerlik beantwoord dit nie nodige inligting aan die navorsers sal verskaf.
Dis interessant
"Ek het die vraelys al vroeer ingevul. Hierdie is die tweede keer. Ek gee nie om om te help met vraelyste nie, maar probeer asseblief nie twee keer dieselfde vraelys vir een student stuur nie. Dankie."
baie goed opgestel. goeie uitleg.
Dit is uiters belangrik om aandag te skenk en aan die hoe geweldsyfer in ons land.
Duidelik en tot-die-punt. Dit is goed want dit mors nie jou tyd nie!
"Oulike vraelys, dek alle aspekte."
die vraelys is baie realisties opgestel en het nie vrae wat nie van toepassing is op die eerstejaarservaringe nie. Dit het my ook glad nie verveel nie.
Die vrae oor emosionele welstand en die akademie moet dalk in aparte vraelyste wees.
"Dit dek alle moontlike aspekte, waaraan ek kan dink, van die lewe van 'n verwarde eerstejaar!!!"
Dit is 'n baie lang vraelys...
.
"lank,maar baie goed en divers."
"Dit is net te lank, en vooraf moet daar gewaarsku word oor die lengte van die vraelys."
dit kan van hulp wees vir die universiteit veral met die verstaan van verkeie studente en hul uitgangspunte in die lewe.
Dis 'n groot verskeidenheid van vrae wat alles die effektiwiteit van die Uni. dek
goed
Die vraelys dek alles wat belangrik is.
Dink dis onnodig.
Alles goed en wel. Hoop ek wen.
boring.......
"Ek dink dis relevante vrae, op toepassing van my."
Dit wek goeie vrae by mens en herinner jou weer aand 'n paar dinge in die lewe.
"Soms is daar te min opsies om van te kies: of ja of nee, maar niks tussen in nie."
dit was okay
Die is insiggewent
goed
Gee meer opsies. 'n Opsie tussen bv onbelangrik en redelik belangrik.
"Hierdie is 'n baie spesifieke vraelys en dit behandel al die belangrike kwessies waarmee eerstejaars te doen het. Ek hoop net die terugvoering word werklik gebruik en strukture word daar gestel ten bate van eerstejaars, en dat hulle meer bewus sal wees d
"baie goed, my sommer van voor af weer gemotiveer"
Sal die stelsel van US verbeter
"Goed uit ee gesit, baie effektief en maklik om te verstaan en te beantwoord."
Ek dink dit is goed om die inligting te kry vanaf die studente se oogpunt.
Ek dink dit is relevante vrae wat ons alledaagse kwessies en situasies aanraak. Ek dink dit is baie insiggewend en waardevol. Dankie...
die vraelys is baie breed en dek taamlik vrae
Effektief. Bring belangrike kwessies na vore wat elke Matie op die hart lˆ. Sal die Universiteit help om net voort te bou op hul suksesvolle programme sover.
Die vraelys is nie ingewikkeld nie en die vrae is nie te persoonlik nie.
Daar was baie rassistiese vra sodat wieokal die vraelys merk kan agter kom van waaraf jy kom. Ek dink dit is baie swak smaak...
"Was redelik lank, maar dit dek baie velde"
Dit is 'n doeie evaluerung vraelys oor jou lewe en studies op universiteit.Net baie lank.
"Goeie idee om diversiteit van idees in te win, maar aksie is ook noodsaaklik buiten menigde vraelyste."
Die vraelys kry jou gedagtes aan die gang en maak vir jou jou n paar einskappe van jou lewe duidelik.
"Die vraelys raak al die nodige punte aan, maar daar moet plek wees waar kommentaar gelewer kan word by elke vraag."
"Ek dink daai vraag oor of jou lewe 'n spesifieke doel het, is swak gestel en skep die indruk dat dit goed is om in so iets te glo en as jy nie daarin glo nie is jy maar net 'n doellose jellie vis in die groot see wat ons die lewe noem. Ek is 'n baie groo
dit is 'n goeie manier om jouself te ontleed en te sien hoe jy regtig oor jouself dink.
Dit is noodsaaklik om sulke vraelyste op te stel om hulp te verleen aan eerstejaarstudente.
"Dit was my gevoel dat die vrae oor watter kwessies in die SA samelewing meer aandag moet kry, 'n 3de opsie moes he, nl. ""kry alreeds genoeg aandag"", soos byvoorbeeld rassediskriminasie, dit is iets wat aandag vereis, maar dit impliseer dat dit te min a
"Dis nogal Persoonlik, Maar laat mens dink."
dit is redelik
Baie van toepassing op alle eerstejaars.
Baie algemene goeie vrae
Geen kommentaar
Dit dek 'b naie wye veld van jou lewe en is taamlik goed gebalanseerd. Baie interessante vrae wat voerndag kom. Was lekker om hieraan deel te neem..!
Die vraelys is te lank! en die vrae oor emosionele welstand is onbelangrik
dis goed.
"Vraag 44-64 was vir my nogals moelik om te antwoord, want ek vergelyk nie rerig myself met ander mense nie. Ek probeer die meeste van die tyd om dit nie te doen nie."
Dit is 'n baie omvattende vraelys! Dit kan egter nog vrae bevat oor die rekenaarsentrums en sport fasiliteite
Interessante vrae...
"Daart is terveel vrae gevra wat amper dieselfde is wat nogal pla, maar andersins is dit 'n goeie vraelys"
"EK DINK DIE VRAELYS IS BAIE EFFEKTIEF EN SAL VAN HULP WEES. DIT IS VAN UITERSE BELANG OM STELSELS VOLGENS DIE NUWELINGE, EERSTEJAARS, TE TOETS EN SAL DUS OP DIE MANIER KAN SIEN OF DIE UNIVERSITEITSTELSEL EFFEKTIEF GENOEG WERK. DIT HANG EGTER NOGSTEEDS VA
GOEIE IDEE
Goed opgestel..dek alle moontlike situasies vir die eerstejaar.
"Vrae 90 - 105 moes meer opsies gehad het, dit was moeilik om dinge waaroor ek sterk voel of glad nie enige iets voel nie te vergelyk sonder 'n redelikke tessunvlak of twee om die waarde daarvan konteks te gee"
"Baie sinvolle vrae, voel nie my tyd is gemors nie."
ek dink as dit waardevolle inligting oplewer dan is dit goed!
Dis 'n baie realistiese vraelys.
Dit is te lank en confusing bewoording
