First-Semester Student Survey

First-semester surveys are a key component of a series of systematic quality assurance measures in the area of academic programs and teaching at RPTU. First-year students at RPTU are invited to participate in this survey a few weeks after they begin their studies. The survey focuses on the choice of university and major, the transition to the university or degree program, study experiences to date, expectations for the program, and academic readiness.

The results are made available to the university administration, the departments, and support services and can provide valuable insights for improving the structure of the program at the beginning of students’ studies.

The Office of Teaching Development and Quality Assurance conducts this survey every other winter semester. Upon prior agreement, the topics listed above can be supplemented with department-specific questions. Please contact us by email for sample questionnaires.
