One of the commitments of the Education Commission within KSU is to ensure Quality Assurance in higher education. It is for this reason that KSU has teamed up with the University of Malta to promote and urge students to participate in the Anonymous Study Unit Feedback.
As from this year students can suggest on which study units they would like to give feedback. This can be achieved by sending an email on This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with the study unit code and title of a particular study unit. A list of all the suggestions received will than be compiled and sent to APQRU, the unit dedicated to the facilitation of quality assurance and improvement activities intended to promote a culture of commitment to excellence in the provision of academic services.

The Study Unit Feedback system involves a short online survey via eSims that is completed after each semester, when the study unit course ends. Apart from general questions students are being asked on:

• Study-unit Description versus Actual Delivery
• Lecturing Methodology
• Lecturer accountability
• Method of Assessment
• Administration and Resources

Students can also give additional Comments about the Study-unit.

This system runs via a completely anonymous form and the students are never asked for any personal details. Once submitted the data of the entire class is grouped together for analysis. It is therefore impossible to associate comments and responses provided with any individual student. Unfortunately, many students are cautious about participating in such feedback due to a fear of being revealed and penalised for speaking out. The system has ensured that by no means can a student’s details be revealed.

This campaign is one of the initiatives taken by KSU to:

• see that following the collective agreement with lecturers, these will provide a service of an apt and expected level,
• work to enhance and enforce lecturer accountability.
