Evaluation

All courses at Chalmers are evaluated in several steps. As a student, you may at any time address the course responsible, student representatives or anyone in the board or the programme owning the course with your feedback. During the course, the student representatives and the course responsible meet to discuss the progress of the course.

After the course, an evaluation survey is sent out to all students registered at the course. Usually, you have two weeks to fill out the survey, and we encourage you to do so regardless of what your opinions of the course – the more feedback we get, the clearer we understand what has worked well and maybe less well in the course. The course survey is used at the course evaluation meeting, where the course responsible, student representatives and a programme board member meet to discuss what has works will in the course and if something should be changed for next course round.

The course is new and have no suggested changes for the academic year 2017/2018.
