The module satisfaction survey (MSS) represents one of the University’s cornerstone quality assurance processes. Coordinated by the Quality Support Unit, it runs in alternating semesters with the Centre for Teaching and Learning’s student evaluation of teaching (SET) process. The MSS is normally undertaken over teaching weeks 5 and 6 and encompasses all students registered on all modules undertaken during that semester. It is designed to be a barometer of students' levels of satisfaction with individual modules, and the results provide lecturers and heads of department with student feedback while the module is ongoing.
