Quality assurance & complaints

Our courses are evaluated every semester in the form of an anonymous online survey. Students receive a link via email at the beginning of January (winter semester) and mid-June (summer semester) which takes them directly to their course's survey. Students are then given 10 minutes in class to complete the questionnaire anonymously and with the convenience of their smartphones. All questionnaires are in German, except for DaF, English, and African-language courses, where they are provided in English.

The evaluations are carried out using a questionnaire that focuses on the specific requirements of language courses. It's aim is to evaluate each course in terms of structure, delivery of course content, the teacher's didactic competence, teaching/learning materials, and student progress. The current questionnaire can be found here.

The anonymous evaluation results are sent to the teachers electronically. Teachers discuss the results with their students and, if necessary, quality improvement measures are developed and implemented for the coming semester. The head and assistant head of the Language Centre also have access to the evaluations. They discuss the results and developments with the individual language coordinators and, if necessary, initiate further steps for improvement. The key results of the evaluation are sent, with any references to persons removed, to the university's central administration, which includes them in their official teaching evaluation report.
