The programme director fills in the report in SIS2, discusses it with the programme council, supplements and corrects the report according to the recommendations of the programme council and confirms the report by the end of the autumn semester (11 February) at the latest.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 7.5pt;\"><span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"line-height: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><span style=\"color: #565656;\">The data already collected will help compile the internal evaluation report. Statistical data (e.g. the number of admitted students, drop-outs and graduates, completion of studies within the standard period of study) as well as feedback from students (e.g. course feedback, curriculum feedback) and national surveys (e.g. alumni survey) can be used. Some of the data are displayed as figures in the draft internal evaluation report, but it is up to the report\u2019s author to explain and assess them. If, for some reason, the figures selected for the report remain confusing or of little value for a particular curriculum, further information can be sought from the statistics dashboards <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><u style=\"color: #428bca;\"><strong><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/statistika.ut.ee\/oppekavad\/?_inputs_&amp;keel=%22en%22\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-url=\"https:\/\/statistika.ut.ee\/oppekavad\/?_inputs_&amp;keel=%22en%22\">curricula<\/a><\/strong><\/u><span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"line-height: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><span style=\"color: #565656;\"> and <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><u style=\"color: #428bca;\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/statistika.ut.ee\/tagasiside2\/?_inputs_&amp;keel=%22en%22\">course feedback<\/a><\/strong><\/u><span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"line-height: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><span style=\"color: #565656;\">.

When drawing up the report, it is important to examine these indicators in the context of your curriculum, and to define the boundaries and objectives to be pursued. Not all indicators are equally important or meaningful for all curricula, and the programme director can explain the importance of analysing them when preparing the report.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 7.5pt;\"><span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"line-height: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><span style=\"color: #565656;\">In the autumn semester, the draft internal evaluation report is available in SIS2 on the programme director\u2019s dashboard in a \u201cto be created\u201d status and visible only to the programme director. To share the report with the programme council, the status of the report must be changed to \u201cregistered\u201d. It can then be downloaded as a PDF file and shared with the members of the programme council. Once the programme council has discussed the report, the programme director makes the proposed changes in the report and confirms it by the end of the autumn semester (11 February) at the latest.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 7.5pt;\"><span style=\"background: white;\"><span style=\"line-height: normal;\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><span style=\"color: #565656;\">Once confirmed, the report will be visible to everyone logged in to SIS2.
