Abstract

This is an ongoing study probing the correlations between student demographics, attendance, satisfaction and results, for a selected student cohort offered at an Australian international campus university. The data provides a better understanding of our students' background, motivation and attitudes in relation to their outcomes. Given emerging changes in modes of delivery and external pressures across the higher education sector, this presentation challenges teachers of international students to identify appropriate modes that better support high levels of satisfaction.
