What happens to the results?

Your participation in the course evaluations is crucial to improving the quality of teaching at the university. But what actually happens with your feedback?

1. Analysis of the results

Once the evaluations have been completed, your feedback is analyzed anonymously and sent to the lecturers in the form of a report. This allows them to see which aspects of the course worked well and where there is still room for improvement.

See example final evaluation report for lecturers

2. Share the results with students

If possible, the lecturers will discuss the evaluation results with you. The aim is to understand the feedback in detail and derive concrete measures.

3. Measures for improvement

Lecturers can make direct adjustments to the course based on your feedback, be it in the way knowledge is transferred, the teaching methods or the structure of the course. In cases where the feedback points to structural or major organisational issues, the faculties work closely with the lecturers to implement suitable measures.

4 Long-term quality development

The results of the evaluations are also incorporated into the long-term planning and further development of teaching. After the end of the semester, the quality representatives in the faculties receive all results in aggregated form. They take predefined measures for courses that have been negatively evaluated. Outstandingly rated courses can be honoured with an award.

The results are used to identify trends and recurring themes and to make strategic decisions to improve the range of courses on offer.

5. Communication of the results to the university management

At the end of the academic year, the quality representatives of the faculties reflect on the results and report on the measures taken. The results are then presented to the university management in summarised form.
