Abstract

The Tampere University first-year student survey collects information about the first-year student experience and the attachment to studies and the university. The spring surveys for 2021 and 2022 focus on personal study plans, student and faculty mentoring, and study skills, in addition to the above. The questionnaire started by asking how the respondent's studies have progressed, whether they have received the planning support they need and how successful their study planning has been in SISU. The next step was to find out students' opinions on student and teacher tutoring. The final section dealt with attachment to studies and student well-being. Respondents rated different statements related to issues such as coping, loneliness and remote study. The background variables included gender, faculty, degree level and survey year.
