Student evaluation of modules/ student perceptions of teaching

We take your views on your experience within the department and University very seriously. Your feedback is an important part of the University’s programme of quality assurance and enhancement. By providing relevant and constructive feedback, you will help us to deliver the best possible student experience at York.

We aim to give you the best learning experiences on all your modules, but we cannot do that without your feedback. Please help us ensure that we produce teaching of the highest standard by completing the module evaluation.

You will have an opportunity to evaluate each module. An evaluation will also take place at the end of the programme.

For module evaluations, the module leader will summarise the student feedback and outline any actions they intend to take in response. Summaries will be published on the module VLE site not later than 4 weeks following the module evaluation. Module evaluations are also considered as part of the module reporting process, which includes scrutiny by the External Examiner.

If you are dissatisfied with any of the responses from module leaders, please inform your course rep that you are dissatisfied and explain why. Course Representatives can take your concerns forward to the appropriate committee.

Placement evaluation

The Department values your feedback in relation to all areas of your experience on the programme. To help the Department and our placement partners ensure that you experience teaching of the highest standard in practice, you will be required to complete an evaluation at the end of each placement.

You will receive an invitation via email to create an account on the PARE (Practice Assessment Record and Evaluation) system. This is where you can find information about your placement areas. At the end of each placement you will be prompted to complete an evaluation of your experience.

Placement evaluation is a vital part of our quality assurance processes. Your feedback will be reviewed by the Department and practice partners, with the aim of developing and enhancing placement learning.
