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.
