Teaching Evaluation at BCI

Teaching evaluation is one of the most important elements of quality assurance in teaching.
All compulsory courses of the faculty are evaluated, as well as almost all elective courses.

The legal basis is regulated in the Regulations for Quality Management in Teaching and Learning at the Technische Universität Dortmund of 27.12.2019 and the Evaluation Regulations of the Faculty of Bio- and Chemical Engineering.  

Teaching evaluation procedure

The teaching evaluation takes place online. Towards the end of the semester, all students are given the opportunity to complete an online questionnaire. A sample questionnaire for lectures can be viewed here. Special questionnaires are available for the evaluation of the design project, the internships or the PEP project work in the first semester.


Publication of the results

The results of the teaching evaluation are sent by e-mail to all students and academics in the faculty.Once a semester, the Academic Advisory Board discusses the results of the teaching evaluation. It holds discussions with lecturers whose evaluation results are not satisfactory. However, the Advisory Board can also recommend general measures - e.g. for the further training of lecturers.

Teaching Award of the BCI department

The faculty's teaching prize is awarded to the best courses.
The BCI student council decides on the award.
