​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​Electro​nic Feedback
​​

How does the Electronic Student Feedback System work?

The Student Feedback System is available through an electronic platform. It is designed to make it accessible to students. The system is integrated with SUNLearn with access to students and the Student Feedback Office. 

The Student Feedback Personnel are administrators of the system and handle activation requests from lecturers or departments.

Timing is important: Schedule the survey well in advance to allow sufficient time for students to respond. Experience has shown that the response rates of surveys that open only once classes have ended are considerably lower than those taken before the end of a module. Ideally, students should have the opportunity to raise their needs and concerns before classes come to an end. It is important to discuss such issues with them and to demonstrate that lecturers value their feedback and respond to it.
