Maybe you know\nthe problem. You want feedback on your teaching from your students. You want to\nknow what they think went well, and what didn\u2019t. Maybe you need their\nevaluations for future job applications. In whatever case, in your evaluation a\nmore or less representative amount of feedback and number of ratings would come\nin handy. But your students are sick of evaluations! They wonder why they have\nto fill something out which will be of no use to them, and nothing ever comes\nof evaluations anyway\u2026 .<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So the\nmuttering of students. However, something actually does happen with student\nevaluations \u2013 even if most students aren\u2019t aware of it. It is rare that someone\nattends a course twice, and there is little opportunity to find out whether\nlecturers have implemented their students\u2019 wishes. Therefore, to let students\nand others know what happens after a questionnaire is submitted and why\nevaluations are important to teaching quality, we have created a 3-minute video\nwith the help of Youknow (specialists in explainer videos). Please show this\nvideo to your students and motivate them to take part in the survey! This is\nespecially useful if you have the opportunity to conduct the evaluation in\nclass.[1]<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The challenge for us was to explain the entire comprehensive, stringent evaluation process from survey via publication of findings to deduction of appropriate measures briefly and appealingly. A bigger challenge was to be responsive to students and take their criticisms seriously, while also dignifying the engagement of most lecturers. Whether and how well we have achieved this in three minutes of moving images is yours to decide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
