Japanese responses to university survey
I was having a read through some of the answers to a student survey about APU and it is amazing to see the differences between the Japanese answers and the English answers assuming that most of the Japanese answers were coming from Japanese students. Here is a sample of the responses.
Japanese responses:
1. Tuition needs to be cheaper授業料が安くなってほしい
2. There needs to be a student union 学生会ができてほしい
3. Make things clear
4. Increase quality of Japanese students 国内学生の質も上がってほしい
5. Make Domestic and International students equal
6. Except for the Career Office, staff support is a disaster and needs improvement or work hours need to be increased. キャリア以外のオフィスの職員の対応が最悪なので改善できてほしいまた勤務時間の増加
7.English lectures by Japanese professors need to be revised.日本人の教授による英語開講の授業は見直す必要がある
It was very interesting to see that among all the comments in English only one was negative.
1. “Hire better teachers for APM”
When students were asked what APU should do to celebrate the tenth anniversary most replied suggesting some kind of festival involving all the students and community of Beppu fewer comments suggested not having a celebration and “giving away more scholarships to needy students”.
