Summary The study examines the structure of student satisfaction with instruction. Two professional schools are compared: medicine and engineering. Also the relationship between student ratings and their performance, as perceived by themselves, is explored. Medical students are significantly more satisfied with their courses than engineering students. A positive correlation exists between student satisfaction and student self‐evaluation in the School of Engineering. In the Medical School, no relationship is found between satisfaction and perceived performance.
