Improvement
When looking at the evaluation outcomes of the bachelor and master courses in quarter 4, we see opportunities for improvement. In general students are satisfied with the courses and lecturers but there is room for improvement in the workload distribution, setup of some courses and course materials available. The minimum number of surveys answered has gone up, but the issue of receiving representative numbers of feedbacks remains.
The results of the evaluations are discussed in the Education Councils and with a delegation of the Program Committee. Within these meetings the plans for improvements will be discussed.
