What students are saying
This extract does not contain any categorised topics or sentiment metrics, so there are no observable patterns to summarise for French Studies at this time. When category rows are available, the narrative will highlight the distribution of comments across standard NSS themes (teaching, learning opportunities, assessment and feedback, organisation and management, learning resources, learning community, student voice, and others), with emphasis on the topics that carry the largest share and the most positive/negative tone.

What this means in practice
- Prioritise by evidence. Once category rows are available, focus first on topics with high share and strongly negative sentiment. These are the areas most likely to improve overall student experience when addressed.
- Make clarity your default. In most disciplines, sentiment improves quickly when expectations are explicit—especially around assessment criteria, feedback timing and format, and how changes to teaching or timetables are communicated.
- Close the loop. Publish short, regular updates on what changed and why; name an owner for key operational areas (scheduling, organisation, communications); and set simple, trackable service levels that students can rely on.
- Preserve strengths. Identify categories with high positive sentiment (e.g., staff support, delivery of teaching) and protect the behaviours or practices driving that response.
Data at a glance (2018–2025)
- No category rows were present in the source file, so top topics by share, cluster shares, and sentiment indices cannot be computed here.
- How to read the numbers (when available). Each comment is assigned one primary topic; share is that topic’s proportion of all comments. Sentiment is calculated per sentence and summarised as an index from −100 (more negative than positive) to +100 (more positive than negative), then averaged at category level.
How Student Voice Analytics helps you
Student Voice Analytics turns open-text survey comments into clear, actionable priorities by tracking topics, sentiment and movement by year for French Studies and every other discipline. It supports whole-institution views and fine-grained analysis at school, department and programme level, providing concise, anonymised theme summaries and representative comments that are easy to brief to programme teams and external partners.
Critically, it enables like-for-like sector comparisons across CAH codes and by demographics (e.g., year of study, domicile, mode of study, campus/site, commuter status), so you can evidence progress relative to the right peer group. Flexible segmentation (by site/provider, cohort, year of study and more) helps target interventions where they will shift sentiment most. Export-ready outputs (for web, decks, dashboards) make it straightforward to share priorities and track improvement across the institution.
