In accordance with The methodology regarding the implementation of the teaching staff evaluation process by students at the West University of Timișoara (UVT), approved by the University Senate, starting with this academic year, the process of evaluating teachers by students will take place every semester in 3 stages, so:
- the first evaluation stage will take place halfway through each semester, targeting the teaching activity carried out in the first half of the semester; the results will be made available to teachers immediately after the end of the evaluation period, in the form of a general report containing the average of the grades obtained for each question following the students' evaluations and the answers to the open questions, without mentioning their authors. Teachers will analyze the results of the evaluation process and will implement, as early as the current semester, if necessary, those improvements necessary in the conduct of the teaching process, taking into account the feedback sent by the students;
- the second evaluation stage will take place at the end of the semester, targeting the teaching activity carried out throughout the semester, and the results will be made available to teachers after the end of the regulatory deadline for completing grades in the electronic catalog for session C;
- 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 teachers after the end of the regulatory deadline for completing grades in the electronic catalog for session C.
Thus, The period for the first stage of the teacher evaluation process by students for this semester is:
- for the final years of studies and the preparatory year of Romanian language: March 31 - April 13, 2025;
- for non-terminal years of study: 7-April 27 2025.
The evaluation of teachers by students will be done through the platform evaluation.uvt.ro, students logging in with their institutional account details @e-uvt.ro.
The evaluation platform will close on the morning of April 14 2025, 07:50 (for the final years of studies), respectively April 28 2025, 07:50 (for non-terminal years of study).
Even though students authenticate on the platform with their email 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, thus we encourage students to answer all questions in the questionnaire as honestly as possible.
Steps to use the platform are available in THIS GUIDE.
For each teaching activity they participate in this semester, students have to complete a single feedback questionnaire, which contains 10 closed questions and 3 open questions – 2 mandatory and one optional.The evaluation process remains complex, in order to collect in-depth feedback from students, as well as to ensure that it has a relevant impact starting with the current semester, so we ask that you allocate the necessary time to complete all 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 are required to allocate 10 minutes within all teaching activities they carry out during the period in which the evaluation platform is open, for students to complete the online evaluation questionnaires for the respective discipline. Teachers cannot interfere or influence the evaluation process.
To provide an answer to all students' questions regarding the teacher evaluation process, we have prepared a document with the most frequently asked questions regarding this process, which can be accessed at this link.
If students encounter difficulties in the evaluation process or identify inconsistencies regarding the available questionnaires, we ask them to send us an email at edu@e-uvt.ro, accompanied by screenshots with any errors.

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!
