Important CS Student Exerience Survey

posted by Mitchell Gale on Sept. 27, 2022, 11:27 a.m.

Hi All,

This week there will be a large discussion about "student experience" in the School of Computing Science, and how the School of Computing Science can help improve it. A survey was sent out by SFU some time ago regarding student experiences within each faculty., the Faculty of Applied Science had a lower student experience than most other faculties. It would be helpful to know why that is the case and what steps can be made to improve the experience.

This survey would be valuable to fill out even if you are in your first semester at SFU, you could talk about what you hope to see over the remainder of your degree.

Please complete this form as soon as possible, finishing it by tonight or early tomorrow is ideal.

Please fill out this short 8 question survey about your student experience, as your feedback will be valuable and help provide ways to improve your experience.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
