Course evaluation process – a manual

All programmes at undergraduate and advanced level level have a ready-made template for a course evaluation questionnaire, which contains the four general questions. If you wish to add course-specific questions, please follow the instructions on this page to create the course evaluation.

Contents of the template

The template contains the four general questions, which are compulsory for all course evaluations at KI. It also includes a standard introduction, three email templates and the other correct settings that must apply to all course evaluation questionnaires at KI.

Each programme has a programme-specific template. Some programmes also have templates that include work placement questions intended for the programme’s courses involving work placements. Select that template if the course is a work placement course. It is important that you use the programme template when creating your course questionnaire to ensure that the automatic settings are correct.
