A brief description of how representative samples were reached (if applicable) and how the cultural assessment is administered:
There are about 4,300 graduates in NTHU every year. This survey is considered as a required procedure before students leave the campus. Even though this is the first year to include SDGs cultural assessment questions in the survey, it is expected to have over 4,000 responses, a representative sample of NTHU. The Center for IR has been conducting the Graduating Students Learning Feedback Questionnaire every year, and will analyze the responses based on every part of the survey. Moreover, the Center for IR will present the conclusions and suggestions to the university that will give a direction for the university to enhance the sustainability education and practices in the coming year to grow the sustainability culture in NTHU.
A brief summary of results from the cultural assessment:
The Graduating Students Learning Feedback Questionnaire 2021 started from the beginning of June, 2021. It is still in progress. According to the survey, it will help NTHU to understand the cognitive learning objectives of SDGs that graduates during their undergraduate or graduate studies have acquired.
