Campuses today face a growing number of clashing cultures. Faculty struggle with traditional methods of teaching in an environment where demands for flexibility and convenience are rising.

Origin:Presented at ELI Meetings (2006)

The UK's Student Survey: Perils of Student Feedback
Created by Catherine Howell (University of Cambridge) on September 26, 2005
Matt P. recently posted on the issue of student feedback ratings in UK higher education, and posted a link to coverage by the Guardian newspaper. Looking at the survey results, I'm left with many questions, and hope to continue this discussion.

My first comment is that it is crucial to note that no Scottish universities participated in the survey. The survey therefore is not UK-wide and it misses out some of the country's leading institutions, that just happen to be located north of the English border. Another major gap comes from the absence of the universities of Warwick, Oxford and Cambridge.

These latter three are among Britain's most prestigious and successful (they are certainly "popular" with students, if you take a glance at admissions statistics), yet they did not participate in the survey. And this decision not to participate came not from the institutional administration but from the students themselves. At Cambridge, the student union campaigned against participation, largely on the grounds that the survey methods employed were highly invasive (including repeated unsolicited emails and personal telephone calls, including calls to mobiles).

Abstract:Forum Futures 2004 is a collection of summaries of the 15 papers presented and discussed at the Forum's 2003 Aspen Symposium.
