Where do we study?

We all know our University as “The Best Specialized University in Russia”, but what does it mean? Is it really so? Everybody thinks that it is connected with study and high-qualified teachers in our University. But what do students of TSPU think about the quality of education?

56 students of different ages (18-21) from different faculties took part in the small survey that revealed the following results: the majority of respondents said that they are displeased with the quality of education in TSPU and think that the university needs some modernization and improvement.

More than 90% of respondents think that there is lack of TV sets and interactive boards in our classrooms and about 75% agreed that we need more modern course books, some of them explained that the university has to buy books printed  by well-known publishers or pay more attention to the  quality of our “native” books.  Moreover, more than 60% of students insist on a necessity of highly-qualified specialists, and some of them added that the majority of teachers who work now ran out of steam. The situation with facilities is the same: more than half of respondents strongly agree, that the head of TSPU should think about its improvement.

The answers to only one question can prove the status of our university. Students don’t want to have more lessons in their major (about 90% said that they have enough lessons in their class timetable which are connected with their future profession).

But unfortunately, the last question showed that students compare our university with others and the thing is that they are not sure TSPU is better than a place where their friends study (about 60%).



Taking everything into consideration, we can see the huge quantity of gaps in our University, and students can`t change anything themselves. It is a responsibility of the head of TSPU and he has to care for improvement of our student life.
