Course evaluation

Evaluation is a key tool in guaranteeing good teaching in the Department of Geography. Insights gained in the evaluation process feed into further developing teaching in two respects: they help to appraise individual courses but also to improve modules on an organizational level and further align degree programs in terms of their content.

Representatives from the teaching staff, departmental student body, degree program management and liaison lecturers sit on the Evaluations Committee. It meets every semester to discuss the results from the previous semester and identify potential areas for improvement but also to nominate possible candidates for teaching prizes. In the event of disagreements, the Evaluations Committee will seek solutions together with teachers and students.

If their concern involves conflicts relating to their courses, students can contact the liaison lecturers, Dr. Julia Poerting and Prof. Dr. Klaus Greve, and the departmental student body. The student representative on the Evaluations Committee, Yvonne Hilger, can answer any technical questions about the evaluation procedure: evaluation@giub.uni-bonn.de.
