11. Evaluations
Every semester, there will be 2 evaluation processes for each subject:
1. Mid-semester evaluations:
These evaluations are held in class and consist of 2 subjective
questions. This is so that lecturers and tutors can receive feedback in
the middle of the semester, in order to address student concerns and
make improvements within the same semester.
2. Compulsory end of semester evaluations:
These evaluations are conducted online and consist of Likert-scale
questions as well as 2 subjective questions. The purpose of this is to
obtain feedback that will be beneficial for future semesters.
Students are strongly encouraged to fill in BOTH evaluation forms as
feedback is important and can help the faculty make important decisions
about the curriculum and the direction of the course.
