Note.

1) M: The means presented in this report are on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly Disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Neutral, 4 = Agree

and 5 = Strongly Agree; red if M < 3.0).

2) ES1: Difference of the means comparing to the HKU results was calculated by Cohen's d (in blue font): Negligible (d < 0.10),

Small (0.10 ≤ d < 0.30), Medium (0.30 ≤ d < 0.50), and Large (d ≥ 0.50). “+M” and “+L” are highlighted in green, and “-M” and

“-L” are highlighted in yellow.

3) ES2: Difference of the means between the 2015-16 and 2014-15 results was calculated by Cohen's d (in black font): Negligible (d

< 0.10), Small (0.10 ≤ d < 0.30), Medium (0.30 ≤ d < 0.50), and Large (d ≥ 0.50). “+M” and “+L” are highlighted in green, and “-

M” and “-L” are highlighted in yellow.

4) Concerning sensitivity with small number of returns, the reported results were not highlighted in color for scales where fewer than

20 valid responses were received in the survey. The results should be interpreted with caution.

5) "-" in the Mean column denotes that there was one or no response received for the scale; "-" in the ES1 / ES2 columns denotes that

the Cohen's d value was undefined (i.e., all survey respondents of the compared groups endorsed the same rating in the scale, or

the standard deviation of the scale was undefined).

6) The scales of Common Core overall evaluation (Q33; one question asking for each Area of Inquiry) were first introduced in the

2015-16 SLEQ-UG1.

Note.

1) M: The means presented in this report are on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly Disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Neutral, 4 = Agree and 5 = Strongly Agree; red if M < 3.0).

2) ES1: Difference of the means comparing to the HKU results was calculated by Cohen's d (in blue font): Negligible (d < 0.10), Small (0.10 ≤ d < 0.30), Medium (0.30 ≤ d < 0.50), and Large

(d ≥ 0.50). “+M” and “+L” are highlighted in green, and “-M” and “-L” are highlighted in yellow.

3) ES2: Difference of the means between the 2015-16 and 2014-15 results was calculated by Cohen's d (in black font): Negligible (d < 0.10), Small (0.10 ≤ d < 0.30), Medium (0.30 ≤ d < 0.50),

and Large (d ≥ 0.50). “+M” and “+L” are highlighted in green, and “-M” and “-L” are highlighted in yellow.

4) Concerning sensitivity with small number of returns, the reported results were not highlighted in color for scales where fewer than 20 valid responses were received in the survey. The results

should be interpreted with caution.

5) The scales of Common Core overall evaluation (Q25; one question asking for each Area of Inquiry) were first introduced in the 2015-16 SLEQ-UG2.

2) A-D: Presents the differences in percentages between survey respondents endorsing the “Strongly Agree” and “Agree” options and those endorsing the “Strongly Disagree” and “Disagree”

options (orange if 20% < A-D < 40%, red if A-D < 20%).

3) Concerning sensitivity with small number of returns, the reported results were not highlighted in color for scales where fewer than 20 valid responses were received in the survey. The results

Note.

1) M: The means presented in this report are on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly Disagree, 2 = Disagree, 3 = Neutral, 4 = Agree and 5 = Strongly Agree; red if M < 3.0).

2) ES1: Difference of the means comparing to the HKU results was calculated by Cohen's d (in blue font): Negligible (d < 0.10), Small (0.10 ≤ d < 0.30), Medium (0.30 ≤ d < 0.50), and Large (d ≥ 0.50). “+M” and “+L” are highlighted in green, and “-M” and “-L” are

highlighted in yellow.

3) ES2: Difference of the means between the 2015-16 and 2014-15 results was calculated by Cohen's d (in black font): Negligible (d < 0.10), Small (0.10 ≤ d < 0.30), Medium (0.30 ≤ d < 0.50), and Large (d ≥ 0.50). “+M” and “+L” are highlighted in green, and “-M” and “-L”

are highlighted in yellow. 4) Concerning sensitivity with small number of returns, the reported results were not highlighted in color for scales where fewer than 20 valid responses were received in the survey. The results should be interpreted with caution.

5) "-" in the Mean column denotes that there was one or no response received for the scale; "-" in the ES1 / ES2 columns denotes that the Cohen's d value was undefined (i.e., all survey respondents of the compared groups endorsed the same rating in the scale, or the standard

deviation of the scale was undefined).

6) The scales of academic advising (Q24), Common Core overall evaluation (Q29; one question asking for each Area of Inquiry) and off-campus learning experiences (Q30-Q45) were first introduced in the 2015-16 SLEQ-UGF.

7) The major/ minor in China Studies (Social Sciences stream) (Enrol.: 1; Return: 0), the major/ minor in Cognitive Science (Enrol.: 1; Return: 0), the major/ minor in Culture, Heritage and Tourism (Enrol.: 3; Return: 3), the major/ minor in Social Policy and Community

Building (Enrol.: 2; Return: 1), and the major/minor of Social Work and Social Administration (Enrol.: 6; Return: 2) were not included in the table due to small number of/no returns received in 2015-16.

8) The Bachelor of Social Sciences (Government and Laws) as first degree of double-degrees under the old/three-year curriculum (Enrol.: 1; Return: 1) was not included in the table due to small number of returns received in 2015-16.

9) (*):For Bachelor of Social Sciences (Government and Laws) as a single degree under the new/four-year curriculum, there were no enrollment in 2014-15 SLEQ-UGF, and thus the effect sizes measuring the difference of the means between the 2015-16 and 2014-15 results

could not be obtained.
