Early Semester Student Feedback Survey
About the Survey
The Early Semester Student Feedback Survey (ESSFS) is an online unit evaluation survey administered in Week 4 of each semester to units at Monash University Malaysia. ESSFS complements the Student Evaluation of Teaching and Units (SETU), which occurs at the end of the semester. By collecting feedback earlier, this survey enables educators to quickly identify and respond to issues during the semester. More information on participating in the survey below.

To improve and maintain survey response rates, survey incentives in the form of a lucky draw have been organised in conjunction with ESSFS Semester 2, 2024.
This semester, lucky draw prizes are unlocked in tiers depending on the overall response rates achieved. The higher the response rate, the more prizes are unlocked!
How do I unlock more tiers?
Prizes are unlocked based on the overall response rate to the ESSFS. The response rate increases when you complete the ESSFS for all of your enrolled units and encourage your peers to do the same. Each survey you complete earns you one lucky draw entry.
Terms & Conditions
- Each Eligible Participant is only entitled to ONE (1) prize.
- Lucky draw winners will be contacted within THIRTY (30) working days after the close of the ESSFS survey via their Monash email accounts.
- Grab voucher winners will redeem their prizes via email containing the redemption details. Please check email for the subject title: "Congrats, you won a RM20 Grab voucher!".

How it works
Starting from Monday of Week 3, QR codes will be scattered around campus. Hunt for these codes and scan the QR to reveal a question on effective feedback. Answer the question correctly to earn a point. There are a total of 20 QR codes around the campus. The more codes you scan and answer correctly, the more points you get!
At the end of each day, the top five (5) students with the highest points will win RM20 Grab vouchers each! The winners will be announced the following day, at 9am, here on the ESSFS website. The Grab vouchers will be emailed to the winners the following week (students are required to acknowledge by replying to the email). Each student can only win once.
