McGill University recently released a table based on the student’s response to the quality of education in the years 2005, 2010 and 2015. Let’s take a closer look at it.
Although the level of teaching quality has improved, it has not been that big of an advance as one would have hoped for. Currently, the teaching quality stands at 78, a six point improvement over 2010’s data which isn’t that impressive especially when we consider the fact that the rating was 74 in 2005.
The Library resources section has also shown a stagnation in its ratings, with its current rating 87 and its previous ratings were 88 and 86 for 2010 and 2005 respectively. When compared to the teaching quality though, it is noticeable that although teaching quality and library resources have stood still for the last ten years, atleast the library resources department had a better average overall.
Unlike the above two sections, student services has shown a massive positive spike in its ratings for the years 2010 and 2015 which is an indicator that the staff incharge of student services is doing a pretty good job.
Range of modules department has been the least impressive however with this section showing a dip in reviews from 39 in 2005 to 25 in 2015. This is hugely disappointing as not only was the average low, it still dipped furthur in the following years showing gross negligence in this section.
Finally we have the Sports and Social facilities department which consistently scored 65 in all three surveys which is not great but not bad either.

Sample answer:
The table shows the change in attitude, over ten years, of students at McGill University to different aspects of its academic provision.
Overall, the most striking set of statistics relate to approval for student services. There was a sharp increase in the number of students giving these services a good rating, particularly in the first five years: from 54 percent in 2005, to 81 percent in 2010, and 95 percent in 2015. There was also an overall improvement in ratings for teaching quality, though the increase was relatively small (74 percent in 2005 rising to 78 percent in 2015) and there was a decline in the interim (72 percent in 2010). There was also a fluctuation in attitudes to library resources, rising from 86 percent to 88 percent in the first five years and then falling by one percent in 2015. Good ratings for the university’s sports and social facilities were identical throughout, at 65 percent. Finally, there were poor ratings at the beginning of the period for the range of modules offered (39 percent in 2005) and they got worse, falling steadily to 31 percent in 2010 and 25 percent in 2015.
