Evaluation

The dialogue between lecturers and students, and the feedback they provide to one another, generates crucial impetus for the further development of study programmes and teaching. Taking responsibility for one’s own studies, as well as a willingness to engage with the ideas and perspectives of students and other groups in one’s own teaching, are hallmarks of an active and progressive university community. At Leuphana, various formats are available for this discourse. Quality assurance tools ensure that ideas and findings are incorporated into the improvement of courses, modules, degree programmes and the overall framework.

Course evaluation

At course level, a questionnaire-based tool is used to gather feedback from students and lecturers and to encourage a data-driven dialogue about strengths, weaknesses and areas for improvement. Information regarding course evaluations can be found on the website. 

Shift!

Shift! is a qualitative feedback format that enables teachers and learners, with the help of an external facilitator, to engage in a dialogue about the teaching and learning situation within a course; it can be used as an alternative to course evaluations. Further information can be found on the website.

System Surveys

At regular intervals, current students, recent graduates and graduates who are now in employment are surveyed about their studies and the conditions under which they studied. The different types of survey are explained on the website. 

Quality Circle

As part of the degree programmes, quality circles are usually held annually. At these meetings, programme coordinators, students and lecturers discuss the conditions and challenges of the programme together and agree on measures to improve quality. Further information on the quality circles, as well as guidance documents, can be found on the website.
