These tables summarise over 800 individual submissions from students (gathered during late-May to end-June 2012, through the Bristol Online Survey) about the courses they took in 2011/2012. They also include (a few) responses from lecturers and (many) short videos about the courses (taken from the Course Introductions page). At the moment, the videos are viewable remotely from computers and Android phones, but not from iPhone/iPad. We hope to fix this in the future.
This is the first year we have used this online survey; much of the data is only partial and was collected late in the year. Where an individual course has only a small number of responses, these might not be representative. Several lecturers also distributed paper surveys during their course, and that information does not appear here.
For the creation of the reports, we filtered any responses which contained offensive comments, or responses for a different course. In 2 cases, text responses have been withheld at the request of the lecturer.
Lecturer name in bold indicates a new lecturer for 2012/2013.
Courses are grouped by "normal-year-taken". You may jump to Year 2, Year 3, Year 4 and Year 5/MSc courses.
Note the .pdf course survey files require 'DICE-authentication' (you must be logged-in with your DICE username and password to see these).

These courses are taken by MSc students and year-5 MInf students.
For 2012/13 the page is maintained (to some extent) by Dr Mary Cryan. Therefore queries or corrections should be directed to her. The reports were created with the help of Kolos Kantor (2011/12 Edinburgh graduate, and member of the feedback forms panel during 2011/12).
