Explanation :
"You need to revise a course, what are the first steps?"
Carry out a national survey
Answer: Specific goals need to be defined before creating the survey. Some information may be obtained but is it cost effective? There are other means to obtain information on revising a course, which are less expensive. If the survey has already been carried out, you must aim at maximizing profitability by using it. So 'unsuitable' is the right answer.
Consult the professors who are teaching subjects linked to the field of work
Answer: It is useful to have the opinion of professors on how the course is suited to needs and how to improve content; it is also useful to to see how they think the work in their sectors needs to evolve. The link between teachers, researchers and professionals gives us complementary information and a more complete picture. So a situation where there is not structured liaison between these key people leads us to an 'insufficient' vision of the context.
Analyse the statistics on employment of graduates over the last 10 years
Answer: The difficulty is to obtain the data. This information includes quantitative and qualitative data, describes the work, the time needed to find work, how many students found work, and even the skills required. This is 'indispensable' information.
Consult the professionals from the sector
Answer: The goal is to define the skills as they evolve, the question is who exactly to ask, how to collect the information and how often to ask for updates. The questions must be formulated carefully to maximize efficiency and you must bear in mind that some of the people questioned may not have the vision necessary for a complete answer. This step is absolutely 'indispensable'.
