Course evaluations for the 16-week period of Semester 2 are now open
13 May 2025
You should have received emails with links to your course evaluation questionnaires on 12 May for each course. Please contact the AUC Digital Service Desk for assistance if you have any problems with opening, filling in, or submitting your course evaluations.
The University of Amsterdam has changed the software they use to evaluate courses and programmes to ‘Evalytics’. AUC is now also using this new system. The invitation email containing the link to the evaluation will be sent from no-reply@uva.nl. The appearance of the emails and questionnaire is different, but the questions and process remains the same.
Once you have completed your evaluation, several AUC staff members read and engage with your feedback. Your lecturer reviews the course evaluation and discusses the feedback with fellow lecturers in a peer review process. Lecturers then formulate adjustments for the next edition of the course. The Heads of Studies read both the course evaluations and lecturers’ reflections, and use these to reflect on the quality of all courses in a major or the Academic Core. The Director of Education and the Heads of Studies then report their conclusions about the quality of the curriculum back to the Board of Studies. In that report, they formulate important action points for the next semester or academic year. Finally, the Board of Studies also review course evaluations and make recommendations to the Director of Education and Heads of Studies to strengthen the quality of the AUC programme.
The success of this story begins with you and the feedback you provide in your evaluations.
A high response rate allows us to draw accurate conclusions about AUC’s courses. This collective input identifies strengths, highlights potential issues and enables us to make informed improvements. Your experience and insights directly contribute to shaping better courses for you and future students.
Benefit the next group of students and know that your courses are positively influenced by the feedback of those that came before you. If you’re curious about the impact of past evaluations, you can explore the course adjustment section in your course manual(s).
