Abstract

The survey is conducted among first-year students at Tampere University to collect information about their first-year study experiences and their attachment to their studies and the university. In addition to the above, the survey focuses on personal study plans, student and professor tutoring and student well-being.

The survey started by asking how the respondents' studies were progressing, whether they had received the support they needed to plan their studies, and how successful their independent study planning has been in SISU-system. Respondents were asked if they needed more information on any topic. The next step was to find out students' opinions on student and teacher tutoring. The final section dealt with student well-being and attachment to studies and the university. Respondents rated a range of statements relating to issues such as coping and loneliness. Finally, respondents were asked to rate their study experience at Tampere University.

Background variables included the respondent's gender, faculty and level of degree.
