In accordance with The methodology regarding the implementation of the teaching staff evaluation process by students at the West University of Timișoara (UVT), starting this semester, the process of evaluation of teaching staff by students will take place every semester in 3 stages, so:
- the first evaluation stage took place in weeks 7-8 of this semester (between November 14-24) and concerned the didactic activity carried out in the first half of the semester; the results were made available to teachers immediately after the end of the evaluation period (starting with the 9th week of the semester, on 25.11.2024), in the form of a general report containing the average marks obtained for each question following the student evaluations and the answers to the open questions, without mentioning their authors.
- the second evaluation stage will take place in the 13-14 teaching weeks of each semester, targeting the didactic activity carried out throughout the semester, and the results will be made available to the teaching staff after the end of the regulatory deadline for completing the grades in the electronic catalog related to session B of the respective semester;
- the third stage of evaluation will take place after the end of session B related to each semester, aiming at the way in which the evaluation of the way in which the learning outcomes were acquired by students throughout the semester and in the exam session was carried out, and the results will be made available to the teaching staff after the end of the regulatory deadline for completing the grades in the electronic catalog related to session B of the respective semester.
Thus, the period of the second stage of the teacher evaluation process by the students of this semester this 5-17 January 2025.
The evaluation of teachers by students will be done through the platform evaluation.uvt.ro, logging in with your institutional account details @e-uvt.ro.
Until January 17 2025 you have the opportunity to rate them all the teaching staff with whom you collaborated in the first semester of this academic year in teaching activities (courses, seminars or laboratories).
The evaluation platform will close on the morning of January 18, 2025, at 07:50.
Even if on the platform students log in with their e-mail address and password, the evaluation of teachers by students is 100% anonymous, the answers being encrypted in such a way that the authors cannot be identified, so we encourage students to answer all the questions in the questionnaire as honestly as possible.
Steps to use the platform are available in THIS GUIDE.
For each didactic activity in which they participate during this semester, students have to complete a single teacher evaluation questionnaire (10 closed questions and 3 open questions - 2 mandatory and one optional). In the case of the questionnaire applied at the end of each semester, in weeks 13/14 of teaching activity, there is o additional question addressed only to those students who answered the evaluation questionnaire from the respective discipline and in stage I of the evaluation process, in the middle of this semester, through which we want to find out if the feedback sent by the students produced an impact in the didactic activity conducted by the teaching staff in the second part of the semester.
The assessment process remains complex in order to collect in-depth feedback from students, so we kindly ask that you take the time to go through all the questionnaires responsibly.
Each evaluation questionnaire for a didactic activity can be completed separately, not having to complete all the questionnaires available on the platform at once, but being able to complete this activity in stages, over several days.
The purpose of teacher evaluation by students is to collect the opinions and feedback of the students regarding the educational process they are going through this semester, in order to improve the work of the teaching staff and the educational services offered by the Western University of Timișoara.
All teachers have the obligation to allocate 10 minutes in all the teaching activities they carry out for students to complete the online assessment questionnaires for the respective discipline. Teachers cannot interfere or influence the evaluation process.
To answer all student questions about the teacher evaluation process, we have prepared a document with the most frequently asked questions about the process, which is available by going to this link.
If students encounter difficulties in the assessment process or identify errors in the form, please let us know via email at edu@e-uvt.ro, accompanied by screenshots with any errors.
Also, more details on the scientific basis of this approach, as well as its usefulness. you can find in The newsletter developed by the Academic Development Center of UVT, accessible HERE.
We encourage students to complete and as detailed evaluations as possible for all teaching activities they participate in this semester, assuring them of the confidentiality of the information submitted! Only by collecting students' opinions and collaborating will we be able to improve the quality of the educational process in UVT!
