"It is well rounded, however the assumption seems to be made that all first year students are school leavers. I am a 30 year old single mother, so I think it would be a good idea to include an age/situational reference. As another example first generatio
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
made me reflect on my fears about passing
Good questions that should lead to acknowledgement of both strong pionts and weak areas of the university.
"It was not asked anywhere whether I was satisfied doing my chosen course or not, which affects many of my answers."
Good questionnaire with excellent points addressed. More questions should be asked about emotional and social incorporation into residence.
"very detailed and touches on every aspect, however it is only a questionniare. students who do it are most likely not going to recieve the help they need as it is impossible for the unvaristy to cater to each individuals students well-being in a thorough
"very wide aspects, good..."
It was boring.
"Extremely in depth, some questions possibly unneccesary, "
questionnaire is too long
"It is sometimes difficult to answer a question as not all the questions are appropriate for all the different courses. The more practical a question is, the easier it is to answer it."
It is detailed and will provide a clear outlook on first year students. I enjoyed it.
bit too long
It is a useful questionaire that helps students to re-evaluate who they are and what changes needed to be made in their lives.
Seems to be a valuable questionaire with a valid purpose and not just a waste of time
i think it is good. i dont really have an opinion on it though. the questions cover most areas of first year experience. maybe some questions could be added about how first years experienced there initiation into university residences or something
The questionaire is well rounded on the whole. I do feel that the questions refering to whether certain things are of 'top priority in South Africa' may be improved with respect to giving more options for answers. Perhaps 'marginally important' and 'not c
it makes you aware of yourself in general with your attitude and it implemantation on your studies
"its good, it covers a wide range of topics that are relevant on campus at the moment"
"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
"Good, general questions. Informatice and yet not probing."
indepth questions
For international students the beginning of the year programs seem to run at the same time so the university the two need to work together.Mature first year students never realy gent intergrated well in the mentoring program especialy those staying in aca
what will happen with the results?
"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!
Why do students get asked about the politics or what they should do about thing in the country if the aim is to improve the university?
I think its good since it covers most aspects of university and it takes insight into the individuals thinking and priorities.
good
Some questions I do not have clear cut answers such as Question 102. One needs to explain the reason for either answer.
It was a very interesting questionnaire overall and covered all aspects.
alot of questions but it really got me thinking
the questionnaire reminded me to stay focused on my goals and capabilities...
Seems Usefull
Questionaire should also cover questions related to the welcoming programme for students older than the general population. I did not find the programme helpful and it has alot to do with the age gap.
The questionaire is very basic to get a general mindset of the general public.
Very meaningfull and helped gain insight about certain issues at US.
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.
"The questionnaire makes you think about what you as s university student, could have done better. I personally think the purpose of this questionnaire helps the university to help first year students make a easy transition from high school to university.
"Very inreresting, thank you"
Decent coverage of a first year's student life.
I feel that it is a great questionnaire as it covers almost all aspects of student life.
Good range of questions.
"It was good except the question no.3. I don't want so attain any degree, I just want to stay in University till I find out what I really want to do with my life. I hate the environment of this place, so my future (I think) lies out of the realm of academ
good things to find improvement or keep on ding well
very thorough
interesting.
I think that it was very thourough
Gives a rough understanding of what each person has to say about the university.
"Dit gaan lekker vinnig, vrae is geskik op alledaagse studente lewe"
Intresant en Laat mens dink oor wa mee jy besig is en wat jy eintlik moet doen
Dit is goed vir selfevaluering en hoe jy jouself kan verbeter.
Vrae is goed opgestel en van toepassing.
Dit is baie lank
dikwels is die vrae en antwoorde nie jou keuse nie.
"'n Goeie gebalanseerde vraelys, alhoewel die antwoord opsies soms beperk is. Die vrae oor die prioriteite in die samelewing se twee opsies was nie voldoende."
ek dink baie noodsaklike vrae was gevra en dat dit baie nuttige inligting gaan insamel.
Baie waardevol. dankie
"Dit is goed saamgestel en handel oor alle aspekte rondom studies, die Universiteit en die samelewing."
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
Vrae dek 'n wye reeks kwessies. Ek sal graag die uitslag van die vraelys wil sien.
dit het my werklik baie gegee om oor te dink. Ek sien nou deur die vraestel eerlik te beantwoord waar die probleme lˆ dat my punte nie op standaard is nie.
geen
Dit is simpel
Die vrea is redelik
"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
Nogals baie omvattend.
"dit is goed gestruktureerd. Die vrae oor die sosiale kwessies wat gevra word is die meerderheid van belang in Suid Afrika omdat ons land baie meer geweldadige kwessies as ander lande het. Universiteit verander 'n mens se denk vermo‰ en jy kan nie altyd
dit seker `n goeie manier vir die US om die inligting te kry
Geen kommentaar
dit is baie goed dat jul die moeite en tyd in ons studente sit. dankie*
nuttig
Sou eerser 'n engelse vraelys verkies.
