Module Evaluation Survey Lauched

Dave Prichard / / Competitions, Events, News

Module

The University  has reintroduced a centralised Module Evaluation Survey to improve our understanding of student satisfaction across the University.

The new survey will give us a clearer understanding of satisfaction trends during a student’s career through to the National Student Survey. Additionally, with the introduction of the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF) next year, it is hoped that the survey will enable the University to be well placed to fully understand all elements of student satisfaction in all courses in preparation for TEF implementation. The aim, with your help, is to achieve a 50% participation rate for each subject at each level.

The Module Evaluation Survey is aligned to categories covered by the National Student Survey and will provide essential statistics to help support academics’ intelligence surrounding the overall student experience.

The participation campaign is run by the Students’ Union.

Undergraduates can take part by visiting https://lincolnsu.com/abc

The survey will finish on Sunday 13 December.

Please encourage your students to support this initiative and give their feedback.
