Study evaluation

Teaching evaluations are to be done in each module at least once every other year according to the University's evaluation regulations. In the Faculty of Agricultural Sciences, the instructors are asked to do so by being sent a course-specific questionnaire via e-mail. For evaluations outside of the regular cycle, the instructors can download the current teaching evaluation questionnaires for modules, lecture, seminars, and practicals / projects / exercise courses here on their own.

Current evaluation forms for seminars, lectures and lab classes are available here.  Complete forms should be returned to Dr. Karin Amler, "Speisemeistereifluegel”, Room 111. If you have any questions or problems with the forms, please contact Dr. Amler, by phone 0711/459-23257 or by e-mail: amler@uni-hohenheim.de

The questionnaires of the teaching evaluation can be read with a document scanner if you proceed as described below.

If you would like to receive feedback on several lecturers with small teaching shares in the same course simultaneously, please ask the students to evaluate individual persons in the free text field on the second page of the questionnaire.

Procedure of course evaluations (addressed to lecturers or co-ordinators)

  • Download the appropriate current form..
  • When printing and copying, please ensure that you do not minimize or enlarge the questionnaire and that the angles set in all four corners of the paper are visible and are a few millimetres away from the edges. The document scanner will only be able to read and evaluate the questionnaires if these specifications are met.
  • Enter the course title and  number as well as your name.
  • Please make sure you make double-sided copies of the questionnaire. Don't use staples!
  • Address a DIN A4 envelope to Dr. Amler, 300.
  • Note the number of students enrolled in the course.
  • Distribute the forms at the beginning of the second half of your series of lectures.
  • Ensure that a student collects and forwards the forms.

We thank you for your support in our effort to make our teaching more effective and our course offerings more valuable.

Evaluation of results

After the results have been evaluated, the instructor will receive an e-mail with those results. The instructor will be asked to respond to the evaluations with a feedback questionnaire. The instructors should note whether a feedback discussion with the students took place and describe the consequences they will draw from the results. The teaching evaluation at the level of courses / modules is primarily a tool for organizing systematic feedback about the quality of teaching to the instructors. In the few cases of serious or continuous criticism, the instructor will be contacted about the problem by the Dean of Studies or his or her assistant and possibilities for solutions will be discussed. The Deans of Studies and the Commission for Study Affairs will have access to a compilation of all evaluation results, and the Dean and person(s) responsible for the Master' degree programmes can also view them upon request.

The compiled results are included in the President's Annual Report.
You can find summarized results from last semester below under: "Results of the Teaching Evaluation".
