Course analysis template
This is what the template contains for course analyses carried out for KTH's courses. The template is automatically published in Canvas for each course. Canvas is also where you fill in the course analysis.
The course analysis consists of two parts:
- Part 1 contains data about the course, study results and results from e.g. course survey
- Part 2 contains the course coordinator's own reflections, such as how the course can be developed further
The template has been developed by a working group consisting of lecturers and representatives from THS, with the support of quality coordinators at the management office.
Part 1: Course data and results
The first part of the course analysis contains data and learning outcomes from the course, as well as results from the course survey and other course evaluation methods.

Course outcomes
Here the outcome of different reported elements of the course are shown. Courses can have several different types of examinations.
Results from examinations such as exams (TENA), project examinations (PROJ) and/or other types of examinations
Number of students who have reported results from the examination as well as a graph with the grade distribution of the element and any brief comment from the course coordinator.
Overall result of the course
Number of students who have reported results from all examinations on the course and graph with the grade distribution of the entire course.
Results from course evaluation
Here the results from the different ways in which the course has been evaluated are collected.
The KTH-wide course evaluation survey
Number of students who completed the course evaluation survey and the response rate as a percentage of the number of first-time registered students.
Graphical presentation of the course evaluation results, without free text answers.
Results from other course evaluation methods such as course committee meetings, free text responses in the survey and teachers' own reflections
Results from other types of course evaluations carried out during the course. These may include, for example, those arising from course committee meetings or from students' free text responses to the course evaluation questionnaire. The course coordinator can also write their own reflections, which they want to be visible to the students.
Part 2: Course coordinator's reflections
The second part of the course analysis contains the course coordinator's own reflections. The reflections in part two are internal and only visible to the teacher and other relevant internal functions, such as the programme manager, with the exception of the last point (Changes introduced for the next course offering) which is published on the course's public About course page.
Note changes that have occurred since the last course offering
Description of the changes made since the last course offering.
What worked well with the course?
Description of what worked well with the current course offering.
How can the course be developed in the future?
Description of the ways in which the course could be developed for future offerings.
Changes introduced for the next course offering
The teacher in charge of the course summarises his/her analysis and describes the changes that will be introduced next time. The changes are compiled in a bulleted list based on course evaluation results and other relevant course data. The bulleted list is published in Canvas and About the course and becomes visible to students.
