ECU Mid Course Experience Questionnaire
ECU will be sending out a Mid-Course Experience Questionnaire (midCEQ) shortly to all students who have reached the approximate mid-point of their course. The midCEQ comprises a set of questions similar to the Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ) and is being emailed to students individually. The feedback from this survey will be extremely valuable, especially when compared in the future against the graduate CEQ. At the completion of the course, reports including comments will be distributed to Faculties. Can you please encourage your students who receive the midCEQ  to complete it carefully.  The students most likely to be receiving the midCEQ are those near the middle of their course, such as those enrolled in 2nd year undergraduate units.
