Interim report

1.1. Main changes in the curriculum, improvements in the organisation of studies* (up to 5,000 characters)

Provide a background on the state of curriculum development for the reader of the report (next time, based on the action plan compiled during this evaluation). Identify up to three most important development activities implemented and assess their success.

* Mandatory fields

Please analyse the status of the different indicators, compare it with your curriculum in different years and with other similar curricula. Indicate activities and possible explanations for the current situation.

2.1. The marketing of and admission to the curriculum has brought the desired target group to study (up to 1,500 characters)

The figure shows data on filled student places: comparison of the number of applicants, admitted students, matriculated students and the number of student places.

The data can also be viewed on the statistics dashboard at curricula, accessed from the university network or with a VPN connection; the link is also available in the statistics section in SIS2.

2.2. The curriculum has been thoughtfully designed (up to 1,500 characters)

The figure shows the data from the curriculum feedback survey – students’ ratings for two statements: 1. I feel I have chosen the right curriculum. 2. I am satisfied with the choices I can make within my curriculum (modules, optional or elective courses). The data can be compared by the time studied or with the average for the faculty and the UT. More information on the results of the curriculum feedback survey can be found on the curriculum statistics dashboard at curricula.

2.3. Teaching and assessment supports learning* (up to 10,000 characters)

The figures show the data from the curriculum feedback survey indicating satisfaction with courses – students’ ratings for statements: 1. I understand how the courses I studied enable me to be more successful in the future. 2. I understand the relevance of the courses in my curriculum. The data can be compared by the time studied (ratings by students of the first or final year) or with the average for the faculty and the UT.

For more information and explanations on course feedback in comparison with previous years and other courses and by statements characterising teaching, see the statistics dashboard at course feedback, accessed from the university network or with a VPN connection; the link is also available in the statistics section in SIS2.

More attention should be paid to students’ ratings for statements of the teaching component:

• Students were given the chance to discuss the subject matter.
• The assessment was closely related to the teaching.
• The teaching was varied (different kinds of methods and tasks were employed).
• The feedback helped me understand which knowledge and/or what skills I should develop further.
• The structure of the course supported my learning.

The analysis should identify the most important problem for the courses in the curriculum (e.g. the most problematic statement) and list the courses (or topics) that need to be addressed and used as a role model during the year.

2.4. Courses have a quality e-support (up to 1,500 characters)

The figure shows the data from the curriculum feedback survey – students’ ratings for the statement “Information systems and digital environments support my studies”. Comparison with the average of the level of study in the faculty and at the university.

2.5. The curriculum and the organisation of studies support student mobility (up to 1,500 characters)

The figure shows the share of students who have studied abroad (among graduates of the curriculum). Comparison with the average of the level of study in the faculty and at the university.

2.6. Students successfully reach graduation (up to 2,500 characters)

The figures show data on the completion of studies within the standard period of study or n+1 year, the drop-out rate in the first year, and the graduation rate among students admitted n+1 years ago. In the analysis, it is worth highlighting which activities or courses/environments/methods have helped to support learning and reduce the drop-out rate.

3.1. Summary evaluation of the functioning of the curriculum, suggestions for improvement (up to 5,000 characters)

Summarise the aspects in which the curriculum is doing well and what needs improvement. Provide feedback on activities that have contributed (as well as people who have contributed) to developing the curriculum and its organisation of studies. Identify areas of concern that need to be discussed and addressed (and whose action or decisions you need for that).

2. Action plan* (up to 4,500 characters)

Set objectives for the next year and outline at least 2–3 activities the programme director will address to achieve the objectives; proposals to the manager to address wider issues.
