The Study Board processes the results of the evaluations twice a year, cf. the annual cycle, and in connection with the status meetings for the Educational Report.

The results of the evaluations are published via the reporting form for the evaluation of education programmes.

The Study Board’s evaluation strategy is discussed at least once a year, cf. the annual cycle.

All education programmes: The lecturers are encouraged to allocate time in their teaching for both the evaluation and a subsequent discussion of the evaluation results well before the start of the semester. The lecturers must draw attention to the importance. The members of the Study Board must make the students aware of the importance.
Feedback takes place directly in class.
