Course evaluation

At least 1/3 of the courses that at any given time are taught, must be evaluated each year.

Main content

The individual faculty decides which courses that are to be evaluated for one year of study at a time, while the course coordinator, in cooperation with the student administration, is responsible for planning and implementing the evaluation.

Course evaluations must at least include:

  • A student evaluation of the course, preferably in the form of a midway evaluation.
  • An evaluation of whether or not the progress made and course implementation are in accordance with the stated objectives, comments on the student evaluation and any other forms of evaluations, and proposed measures.
  • Assessment of the relation between stipulated learning outcome, teaching and examination methods in the course.
  • A description of how previous evaluations have been followed up.

The main results from the evaluations must be communicated to the students by way of course and programme reports in the Study Quality Database.

The faculties may decide to also include other matters and questions in the course evaluation, such as the function of the course in different study programmes. Major changes to a course curriculum should be followed up by an evaluation at the first opportunity. All courses must be evaluated at least once every three years.
