Semester feedback
Semester feedback will be conducted as an optional procedure, at the request of students, faculty or the department. The Unit for Teaching and Learning (UTL) will support the process and will assume the gathering and coordination of feedback. The person(s) making the request, create their own questions or they can ask us, in order to help creating a list of questions.
Semesterfeedback ought to be :
• Optional -> on request, not mandatory, added value to teaching evaluation by LET
• Formative -> about aspects that lecturers can adapt in the on-going semester
• Selective -> it should focus on courses where something is new or where an early feedback and exchange betweenstudents and lecturers is especially important (for ex. 1st year courses, or courses that have been evaluated criticially).
The person(s) requesting semester feedback are responsible for drawing on the results to see that students and faculty reflect on the learning process and, if indicated, develop measures for improvement together.
The semester feedback uses the EduApp and is conducted in weeks 6 and 7 of the semester (21.10.-1.11.2024). It has a clear focus on formative evaluation as opposed to the summative end-of-course evaluation. As a lecturer the semester feedback gives you the opportunity to ask your own questions for student’s feedback concerning for example a new tool, a new method or a new didactical approach that you used in the course.
The deadline for requesting a semester feedback in HS24 is Tuesday 15 October 2024. Please use the the Download application form (DOCX, 14 KB) and send your request for a semester feedback to .
