Course evaluation is a tool for teachers with great potential. In order to fully utilise this, the quality cycle between students and teachers should be closed. This is done, for example, by discussing the evaluation results with the students.

Once the evaluation results have been prepared, they can be presented in an overview suitable for presentation in one of the last courses of the semester. Teachers and students are thus given the opportunity to critically examine the results and discuss their characteristics. In this way, misunderstandings can be cleared up, trends in characteristics can be understood and additional, valuable information can be gained for the further development of the course.

In addition, students get a sense of how the lecturer deals with the data and how their evaluation should be incorporated into (future) course concepts. Discussing the evaluation results together is an important positive reinforcement for students.

Solutions

General conditions

Course evaluation tools are available for many types of teaching and can be used there. The joint evaluation can take place in a regular course or outside in an informal setting.

Consequences

This form of course evaluation should be introduced as early as the first semester in order to familiarise students with the evaluation system at an early stage and to show them the importance of their participation.

A timely evaluation should be planned so that the results are available before the end of the semester and can still be discussed in the course. If necessary, a joint discussion can also take place in an informal setting.

Your suggestion or question

We hope that the teaching/learning concepts will be critically examined, utilised and further developed and thus remain alive. Therefore, please use the comment function to give your assessment of the teaching/learning concept. Share your experiences in the implementation or refer to similar didactic methods (please include references or links). 

Your assessment will first be checked by us and then approved.
