Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) is one of the measures that allows students to express their opinion on the organization of the learning process and suggest ways of improving or changing it.
Students who have exams in subjects that imply contact hours in the 3rd module, are involved in the Student Evaluation of Teaching. The assessment form is available in a student’s personal LMS account (‘Course evaluation’ option).
Students will be able to assess their teachers from March 4 to March 24 (after that the link in LMS will be deactivated).
For more information about the procedure of assessment please see the instruction and tips.
