“What kind of changes in the student intake have there been in your country and/or ins7tu7on?”
“How do our results compare with your ins7tu7on’s?” (increase in leave of absence rates differences in different departments? reasons given similar?)
“How does your ins7tu7on improve reten7on rates and students‘ learning experiences?”
