The Role of the Students

Text

unibz places the student experience at the centre of the Quality Assurance (QA) process, recognizing students as active and participatory contributors in the design, monitoring, and continuous improvement of teaching activities.

The role of students

The Student Representatives

The students are represented in the bodies within the Quality Assurance system, thereby contributing to the development of a system shared and supported by the entire University community.
Within the Joint Studies Committees, established at Faculty level, students play a significant role in drafting the Annual Report. This report analyses the teaching offer as a whole, highlights any critical issues in individual Degree courses, and takes into account the results of course evaluation.

Composition of the Joint Studies Committees and Contact Details:

Teaching Evaluation

In the University’s self-evaluation process, particular attention is given to the student experience. Students evaluate courses through a mandatory online questionnaire, actively contributing to the improvement of teaching quality.
Each student completes an online questionnaire (for both students attending and non-attending in person) and expresses their opinion on the teaching offer, infrastructure and facilities, the role of the lecturer, linguistic aspects, and overall satisfaction. The questionnaire is anonymous. Data are collected at Degree course and Faculty level and are published in the reports provided for by the Quality Assurance system.

The course evaluation 2

In 2018, unibz decided to make the results of the teaching evaluation publicly available to the students in order to enhance the transparency of the QA processes and to involve the students even more. The prerequisite for the publication of the assessment data is the consent of each lecturer with regard to their personal data.

Using PowerBI Data Warehouse, a separate area has been created for publishing the results of the course evaluation:

  • The lecturers have access to a special area called Professor Dashboard in the intranet cockpit.
  • The students have access to their Student Dashboard and to the evaluations of their teachings within their degree course.

Guidelines for students (student dashboard), and lecturers (professor dashboard) (consent to publication) are available, as well as an FAQ area for students and a dedicated technical helpdesk.
