Passed student, satisfied student?

Abstract

By analysing several years’ worth of course evaluation forms this report attempts to find a correlation between how students perceive a course and their likelihood to pass. More than 10 undergraduate courses with each roughly 10 years of data is analysed and presented. Aspects as overall satisfaction is considered but also whether the course is perceived as relevant for the students. Also presented and discussed is whether a student is more likely to be satisfied when he/she feels that the course is relevant. The result presented is not clearly conclusive but does instead open up for new questions and topics of discussion.
