Course Experience Questionnaire (CEQ)
This component of the Australian Graduate Survey (AGS) collects information regarding graduates' opinions of their course. Respondents are asked to express their degree of agreement or disagreement on statements (items) using a five-point Likert scale.
Participating institutions collect CEQ data on three 'core' scales (Good Teaching, Generic Skills and Overall Satisfaction) plus optional scales of their choice. The scales that Curtin measures are tabled below.
| Optional Scale | |
| Prior to AGS 2007* | Clear Goals and Standards Scale (4 items) Appropriate Assessment Scale (3 items) Appropriate Workload Scale (4 items) |
| AGS 2007* onwards (inclusive) | Clear Goals and Standards Scale (4 items) Graduate Qualities Scale (6 items) |
Further information is available regarding the CEQ scales.
