Reports from the course convenor / programme leader / head of studies and faculties

Strategic Education Committee chooses each year an education programme of at least 60 credits for external evaluation. The Programme leader/head of studies and Dean are responsible for compiling a report to be handed in to the Faculty Council. The Strategic Education Committee shall be briefed about the report.

The course convenor writes a short report for his/her course, and sends it to the programme leader/head of studies for the programme to which the course belongs. Reports of the course can be submitted in the Student Councils at the programme to which the course belongs. The reporting follows the academic year.

The Programme leader/head of studies writes a summary report for his/her programme of study. The report will be sent to the Dean and will be included in the faculty's Quality Report.

A report must be written from meetings in the Student Council to be published for students and academic employees in Canvas.

In case of external assessment, the external examiner must prepare a report to be sent to the course convenor. The report from the external examiner must contain a statement about the examiner guidance, an evaluation of the assessment scheme in the course, if possible, and a statement about the exam assignment(s). The report from the external examiner shall provide a review of the exam assignments regarding the learning outcomes of the course.
