The Learning Experience Survey (LEX) is the university-approved mandatory student evaluation survey for units and teaching. It commenced in Semester 1 2007 in all non-research units for all teaching periods, replacing the Student Evaluation of Units and Student Evaluation of Teaching. Students are regularly asked to provide feedback on their experiences of units and teaching. This feedback is used to make decisions on what QUT can do to enhance the learning experience of our students at unit, course and university levels.
