Course analysis content
This is the content that is included in course analyses conducted for KTH's courses. You fill in your course analysis directly in Canvas, using a ready-made template.
The course analysis is a systematic evaluation of the course carried out for continuous development and quality assurance. For courses given within a programme, the course analysis also serves as a basis for programme monitoring.
The course analysis also contains study results and survey responses without free text comments. It is automatically made available to students and others with access to the course room via Canvas. Planned changes for upcoming course rounds are also automatically published publicly on About course on kth.se. Internal reflections are not published in the course analysis.
What the course analysis should contain has been developed by a working group consisting of lecturers and representatives from THS, with the support of quality coordinators at the management office.
How to fill in the course analysis
Course analysis content, published in Canvas
The course analysis, which is published in Canvas and is visible to students, contains, in addition to the teacher's analysis, data and study results from the course, results from the course survey and other course evaluation methods.
Course overview
Information about the course is visible in the report and is automatically retrieved from study documentation systems. This includes the course name, the school giving the course, the examiner and the course coordinator, the examination modules and the like.
Course outcome
The course analysis contains the outcome of various reported elements of the course, which are collected automatically. Courses can have several different types of examinations. The course analysis shows the grade distribution for different examinations, the overall result for all examinations and possible short comment from you as a teacher.
Results from automatic course evaluation survey
The course analysis shows results from the automatic course evaluation survey that students have answered, without free text answers.
Summary of results from course evaluation
In the course analysis, you as a teacher compile results from course evaluation methods such as course committee meetings, course meetings and free text responses in the survey.
Course coordinator's reflections on what has worked well and what can be developed in the course
In the course analysis, you as a teacher can reflect on what has worked well or less so during the course, and what can be developed for upcoming course offerings.
Summary of changes to be introduced for the next course
You summarize your analysis and describe what changes will be introduced for upcoming course offerings. Summarize the changes briefly, for example in a bulleted list. The changes can be based, for example, on course evaluation results and other relevant course data.
Note that changes introduced for upcoming course offerings are also published publicly under About course on kth.se.
Content published publicly on About course
Under About course on kth.se, certain course data is published (such as course information and examination results) as well as what changes are introduced for upcoming course offerings, see above heading. Results from the course evaluation survey are not published under About course.
Internal reflections are not published publicly or for students in Canvas
As a teacher, you can write your own, internal comments in the course analysis that do not appear publicly on About course or for students in Canvas. Your own comments are only visible to yourself and other relevant internal functions, such as the programme manager.
You can, for example, comment on changes that have taken place since the previous course, what worked well with the course and how the course can be developed in the future.
