What the students said‘I didn’t really know what the point of a module evaluation was to be honest, I’ve seen
what it can do now’!
‘It was all so visible this year I knew when it was and how to do it’.
‘The SU video made us realise when to actually do the evaluation and it was really funny’!
‘We actually saw a change on our course from what we had said in the module evaluation which was really good. It was nice to know that what we had said made a
difference to our teaching’.
‘My course rep told me about it and then we did it in class, really easy process’.
‘I am a course rep and I knew about the evaluation before but didn’t know what it did. When it was explained to me I told all the people in my class to fill it out so they could
get their points across to the university’.
