Evaluation Report – Guidelines of the Bavarian State Ministry of Sciences, Research and the Arts
Minimum Content of the Evaluation Report
specification concerning the available courses of the department/faculty
statistical information (existing statistics can be referenced)
information on: -- correspondence between available courses and study and examination regulations
-- adherence to regular study time
-- special bottlenecks (as existing)
information on the care of the students
To be mentioned
information on the evaluation of available courses in the individual courses of study
Focus of Evaluation Reports can be
special focus on the individual courses of study and their realisation
possibilities of a part-time study
analysis of special student histories (changing courses of study, university drop-outs)
general conditions during university education (library, lecture halls)
advertisements and special selection procedures for students in certain courses of study
results of midterms, problems (i.e. high failure rates in certain courses of study)
continuous development of study and examination regulations and design of examinations
activities or new ideas for improving education (especially in the respective courses of study)
Conclusion
Further optimisation possibilities for questionnaires:
Simplification of questionnaires
Shortening of questionnaires
Conversion of handwritten answers into standardized boxes (i. e. age)
Reduction of analysis effort by:
reducing the number of open questions
having the lecturers analyse the open questions for their courses themselves. Central analysis and summary of the open questions is not necessary since the open questions contain relevant information mainly for the lecturer
In the future, Internet-based evaluation of courses can also be implemented. This would
influence the following steps:
Elimination of identification of all courses to be evaluated
Elimination of printing and disribution of questionnaires
Simplification of analysis process since all the questionnaires are automatically converted into data-files.
Reports can be generated automatically.
