The college's response to NSS results
Dear King's College London,
I wanted to request any available information on the college's response to its recent results in the National Student Survey as in previous years, as well as on general strategies employed by the college.
1) Is the college actively working to improve in areas where it does not perform well such as the organisation of courses, how clear marking criteria is, how useful feedback is, and what are they doing to improve?
2) Is the college aware of its position as 107 of 113 in overall positivity rate in the latest National Student Survey, made clear in the Times Higher Education, and trying to improve on this?
3) Is the college wary of its comparably low position on domestic league tables, and trying to improve it?
4) Is the college wary of its poor reputation in the aspect of admin and management, and trying to improve on this?
Yours faithfully,
hafra akhter
