Hey NUS Mates! You know those surveys that you are forced to take every semester? Yea, those student feedback surveys? Here's a letter from me with regards to that:
Dear NUS Mate,
How have you been doing? I hope you are going to graduate soon. Wish you the very best!
I have a sincere request. Please don't specify that the modules you are taking as easy during the end of semester module surveys.
You make us, future victims of the module, suffer for that click on that radio box. Because, based on your feedback, the course coordinators make the module harder. Please always say that the modules are hard. You will still earn the 'free' NUS points.
In return, we promise to mark our modules as very tough so that you will have an easier time with SSs, UEs and Breadths. Deal?
That 0.5ms time you take to click on that radio box = 1 semester of extreme torture for future students. Image stolen.
With Warm Regards,
NUS Computing Student
P.S: 'Free' NUS points for doing surveys? Right. More like bidding points being penalized if you don't participate. If you don't participate in these free point schemes, you end up lower than the competition in CORS. Clever gimmick to make students participate.
P.P.S: That's not even scratching the surface 2 years ago. "Graduate students, Dentistry, Law and Medicine undergraduate students who do not participate in the feedback exercise will only be able to access their results via the internet five days after the release of the examination results". What better way to imply that you must take this survey?

But I enjoy doing "The Online Student Feedback on Teaching Exercise"!! Can give complains to teachers u dislike and compliments to teachers u like, haha :)
I think it is in good spirit that feedback is sought, but of course the means (as you have pointed out) and effectiveness (whether they are timely taken into considerations) of it is not the best.
