Kia ora Construction students, 

The recent Student Course Experience Survey results have provided valuable insights into what our learners appreciate and where we can enhance their journey further.

Here’s a summary of the feedback highlights and our planned actions:
 
What you like the most
 
Practical Learning
 
“I liked most that it mixed easy lessons like touching building materials or watching short construction videos, not just reading.”

“The examples and case studies made it easier to connect theory with real-world applications.”

“Our visit to the actual site was very helpful for our learning.”

“I enjoyed learning how different disciplines can work together in one model, which made collaboration clearer to me. What I liked most was using the software tools, since they made the concepts easier to understand.”

We will continue integrating case studies and real-world examples into course content and maintain regular site visits.

Quality Learning Resources

“The teacher provided a lot of learning materials for support. The learning content was rich, which enabled me to acquire a great deal of professional knowledge in architecture.”

“PPT is excellent, it helps us to get fast information without wasting our time.”

“The part of reading resources are really helpful to understand what the key points for the purpose.”

We’ll ensure continued access to high-quality, relevant resources across all courses.

Interactive Teaching

“I liked how the course combined creative visual design with practical technical skills, helping me learn both artistic and digital modelling effectively.”

“The activities and PPT made it easier to focus on the course.”

“In every session he gives at least two brainstorming activities, it helped me to recall the topics.”

Interactive teaching strategies will remain a core part of our delivery to support engagement and retention.
