The table below shows the percentage of first-year students who gave a “very good” rating to the resources provided by a college for three courses.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
The table compares the proportions of first-year students who rated five different college resources as “very good” for three courses: Economics, Law, and Commerce.
Overall, Commerce received the highest satisfaction ratings across almost all listed resources, while Economics and Law each had particularly low ratings for different categories. Teaching and tutor support generally earned the most positive feedback, whereas pre-course information and other resources had more varied scores.
Looking at the highest-rated categories first, 95% of Economics and Commerce students rated teaching quality as very good, compared to only 62% of Law students. Tutor support followed a similar trend: 93% of Commerce students and 90% of Economics students gave a positive rating, while the figure for Law was 76%. Print resources also received relatively good ratings across the board, from 70% for Law to 85% for Commerce.
There were bigger differences in the remaining two resources. Commerce had by far the best rating for pre-course information at 95%, followed by Law at 72%, while Economics had the lowest figure at 59%. In contrast, other resources were rated most highly by Law students (80%) and Commerce students (81%), with only 60% of Economics students giving a very good rating in this area.
