Module Evaluation
Module evaluation questionnaires will be sent to all directly taught students for Advent semester 2024/25 via the Jisc survey platform. As part of this work, we are using a new set of ten questions aligned directly to the NSS and PTES. The questions cover a range of themes, including teaching, academic support, assessment and feedback, student voice, and learning resources. Module evaluation forms an important component of the student voice, and helps us to ensure that our modules, their assessments, and their resources are meeting the needs and expectations of our students. We aim to offer a centrally supported and centrally delivered set of evaluation questions via a digital system across all modules to allow comparative data analysis. This approach allows us to target support, identify areas of good practice, reduce the administrative workload for schools/faculties, and provide lead indicators ahead of the NSS/PTES.The new questions are:

The module evaluation survey should be distributed to students in the last two teaching weeks of the semester/trimester:
• for Advent Semester (1), w/c 2/12/24
• for Easter Semester (2), w/c 22/04/25
• for Trinity Trimester (Trimester calendars), w/c 11/08/25
Module evaluation data will then be made available for colleagues to review in PowerBI (we will provide more information on how to access this in due course).
