Template for course surveys

Below you can see what the template for course surveys looks like, with both questions and the type of answers you can give when filling out the survey. As a teacher, you will also be able to add your own questions and adapt the survey to your course's needs.

The template has been developed by a working group consisting of lecturers and representatives from THS, with support from the quality coordinators at the Management Office. It has been tested on different types of courses to ensure that the questions in the template are suitable for both undergraduate and graduate courses.
