1. The questionnaire should take around fifteen minutes to complete.
If a question does not apply to you, or you cannot offer any opinion on it, then please leave
blank or mark “Not applicable”.
When you arrive at the final 'thank you' page, you will know that your responses have been
recorded on the PTES database.
Your feedback about the MA Education is invaluable.
Throughout the year you will have feedback to your student reps (Connor Musson and
Rebecca Topps), Alison and the module leaders about the course. The PTES survey is
about your overall view of the course.
If you are eligible to complete the survey, you will receive an email inviting you to take
part.
