Sisällön kuvaus

The survey is conducted among new international degree students at the Tampere University to collect information about their experiences of starting their studies. The survey covers experiences of access to information, student orientation, student tutoring and Tampere as a city to study.

The survey started by asking respondents how they found the information they needed to start their studies and what they would have liked to know more about before starting their studies. Respondents were also asked to rate a new student's website. The next question asked about orientation. Respondents were asked whether they had looked at the orientation materials for all new students in the new student orientation area of Moodle, and which parts of the Moodle area they found most useful. Students were also asked to rate their satisfaction with the orientation. Next, students' opinions on student tutoring were sought. Respondents were also asked about the start of their studies: how well they had started and what help they had received in planning their studies. Respondents were also asked to evaluate issues related to the application process and the app for new students. Finally, respondents were asked to rate different statements related to Tampere as a city to study.

Background variable in the data is the respondent's faculty.
