The purpose of the student evaluation process is to improve the quality of learning
and teaching. Evaluations are not intended to monitor the individual performance of
members of academic staff, nor to be channels for student complaints, for which other
procedures exist. Module evaluation may be either qualitative or quantitative in
emphasis. All modules offered by a School must be evaluated on every occasion the
module is taught. All forms of evaluation, including questionnaires, should be made
available to and collected from students in such a way as to permit students sufficient
time for a considered response, proportionate to the nature of the evaluation. Schools
should aim to achieve an optimal rate of return.
Instruction: Tick the box to rate the module based on your experience. The results will
be used to improve the student experience of the module. Thank you!
