Student Feedback on Modules

 

Student feedback on teaching is an important element of the University’s process for quality assurance of education.  To ensure accurate assessment of teaching, mass participation by students in this feedback exercise is essential.  The online student feedback exercise usually begins two weeks before the start of the examination period and ends by 11.59 pm on the day before the first day of the examination period.

 

Students will be informed of the online feedback exercise about one month before the online exercise takes place.
