Comparison
End-of-term evaluation vs early check-in for student dropout
What each kind of course feedback can hear about students who leave
A comparison for programme leaders and quality offices who want course feedback to say something about non-completion. End-of-term surveys mostly hear from students who stayed, after much of the first-year loss has happened. A short early check-in asks about expectations and fit while there is still time to act. Koji runs both as short AI-moderated conversations.
What's in this comparison
End-of-term course evaluation
- Runs after many first-year students have already left
- Answered mostly by students who stayed
- Asks how good the course was
- Read module by module, apart from progression data
Early check-in in weeks 4 to 6
- Runs while expectation gaps can still be fixed
- Reaches students before many have left
- Asks about expectations, fit and what nearly made them give up
- Read next to progression data at programme level
