The course unit evaluation procedure

About 70 course units are evaluated extensively every year.

The procedure for the extensive evaluation is as follows

2. At the start of each exam period a list of course units to be evaluated is sent to the exam committee.
3. De docenten van de betreffende vakken krijgen de vragenlijst toegestuurd met het verzoek maximaal één eigen (open) vraag toe te voegen aan het eind van de vragenlijst (nieuw vanaf blok 3, studiejaar 2024-2025).
4. The questionnaire is handed out to the students straight after the exam, or if there is no final exam, during the last seminar.
5. The students who have taken the exam or the course unit (if there is no written exam) are invited to apply to attend the evaluation meeting. Furthermore, a representative of the programme committee concerned may attend the evaluation meeting.
6. Depending on the course unit’s size three to five students who have applied will receive an invitation to attend the evaluation meeting.
7. The evaluation meeting with lecturer(s) and students will be chaired by a staff member of the International Office, and attended by the Director of Studies.
8. The minutes of the evaluation meeting will be submitted for approval to the participants.
9. The results of the questionnaires and the minutes of the evaluation meetings will be sent to the Faculty Board, the Faculty Council, the Course Committees and the chairpersons of the Departments.
10. At the start of a new term the Quality Assurance department will ask the lecturer responsible which changes have been made with regard to the points for improvement.
