Net Promoter Score (NPS)
In the last question we asked Studocu users how likely they are to recommend the university they attend(ed) to their friends and family. In our opinion, this is one of the most valuable insights to share with upcoming students who are about to choose a university. After all, who better than the students themselves can share unique insights into their study experience? We used the average score on this question to calculate the Net Promoter Score (NPS).
Being a website by students, for students, we want to offer current students the opportunity to share an honest opinion about their university with upcoming students. This way current students can help future students make an informed decision on what university to choose to have the student life they’ve always dreamt of.
Methodology
Each university was ranked by 60 current or former students on average. On top of these responses, our data scientists used the Synthetic Minority Oversampling Technique (SMOTE) algorithm to generate responses that conform statistically to the trend of actual given scores. Sounds nerdy, right?
That’s who we are! But the key message here is: all results are statistically significant.
