Course Evaluations

After every exam period a survey is send out to all students about every course they attended. EvaSys is the system that is used to make these surveys, this can both be digital and written.  These evaluations are important to keep the quality of our education high. The main goal of these evaluations is to improve the quality and to reduce bottlenecks. The results are discussed in the meetings together with students in meetings such as the STARO and the Board of Studies. The faculty is able to improve the quality of the programs, but only if all the students fill out the surveys! The surveys are the responsibilities of the Quality Control department and are discussed with the Commissioner of Education.
