Writing task 1
You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.
The table below shows the results of surveys in 2000, 2005 and 2010 about one university.
Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.
You should write at least 150 words.
The given table is a survey report on the overall quality, resources and facilities offered to students of a particular university in 2000, 2005 and later again in 2010. The survey questioned the following features of the university : teaching quality, printing and electronic resources, modules offered to the students and finally the infrastructures facilities.
Most of the students were satisfied with the printing facilities of the institution throughout the ten years as more than 80% of them gave it good ratings. On the other hand, the least satisfactory ratings were given to the courses offered to the student body. They rated it around 30% in all three surveys conducted. However, the quality of the electronics in the university had improved after the first survey in 2000 from 45% votes to 72% votes in 2005, and later 88% votes in 2010.
The standard of teachers had not changed quite since 2000 to 2010. Less than 70% of the learners think they are good. The only consistant ratings were given to the building facilities, a solid 77% in all three years.
