Student Evaluation

The most common way of eliciting student feedback is by administering questionnaires. Quality Promotion and Assurance (QPA) staff members are available to support the process of choosing the questionnaire, to analyse student responses, generate a report which is sent to the lecturer concerned and his/her Head of School, and provide follow-up support and development when requested.

Questionnaires

QPA has four Senate approved questionnaires which academics can use to get feedback from students namely:

Student Feedback questionnaire with core questions which assesses the lecturer, module assessment, practicals and tutorials (where applicable). As teaching and learning is a critical component in a number of performance and teaching development and support initiatives at the University, a university wide generic questionnaire was designed.

The Postgraduate supervision questionnaire for postgraduate students (Honours to PhD) for the research supervision. This questionnaire was designed to gain feedback on research supervision and acts as one of the measures that should be considered to assess the quality of research supervision provided to student

Two Student Feedback Questionnaires on the professional practice module (PPM) and professional practice supervisors (PPS). These questionnaires allow for modules with a professional service component to be evaluated by students
