Teaching evaluation

What is

This is an important tool for pointing out possible criticalities and weaknesses within study courses. By filling out, anonymously, the teaching evaluation questionnaires, you can express your opinions on:

the courses in your study plan for the current academic year
the courses in your study plan from previous years that you have not yet taken, as long as they are still present in the current academic year's manifesto with the same code
to your course of study at the end of each academic year

N.B. Filling in the questionnaires relating to subjects allows you to book your examination appointments, while filling in the questionnaires relating to courses of study allows you to submit your study plan and degree application.

You can also decide not to make a judgement by submitting a blank questionnaire to the system, but you would be giving up the opportunity to make your voice heard in order to contribute to the improvement of the teaching of your course of study.

Why

Student evaluation of teaching serves:

to the teachers, as a stimulus to improve the delivery of teaching and interaction with students; to the coordinator, to implement the necessary corrective measures in the course design
to the student quality assurance committee to monitor the implementation of improvement actions
to the Joint Teaching-Student Committee to analyse the problems that have emerged and to identify possible solutions, also with regard to student services

At the university level, the results of the students' opinions are taken into account:

by the Quality Committee, which organises and monitors the surveys
by the evaluation nucleus, which evaluates the results and forwards them to the national evaluation agency (ANVUR) and the academic senate.

What is it

The filling in of the questionnaires of the teaching evaluation is an important tool to bring out any critical points and weaknesses of the study courses. It is used by teachers to implement the necessary corrective measures in the design of the study course, in the provision of teaching and in the services offered to students.

In the questionnaires you can evaluate:

the teachings present in your plan of study for the current academic year
the teachings of your plan of study from previous years that you have not yet supported, as long as they are still present in the manifesto of the current academic year with the same code
your study course at the end of each academic year

N.B. You may decide not to make a judgment, but it would be a missed opportunity for improvement.

Who's gonna fill it out?

You can fill in the questionnaire if you're a student:

regularly enrolled in bachelor's courses, 5/6 years master's courses or 2 years master's courses
full-time, part-time or repetitive

You don't have to fill in, if you're a student:

Erasmus Incoming, i.e. if you are enrolled at Foreign Universities but you are studying in Genoa with the Erasmus Program
enrolled in Higher Education Courses (Specialization Schools, Research Doctorates, Masters)

N.B. The annual evaluation is not available for students enrolled outside of the course.

How to.

At the dedicated page of Online Services you will find the dates for filling in the questionnaires and all the operational instructions for proceeding with the assessment. You can access the service using your UniGePASS credentials.

Filling in the questionnaires for the courses opens before the end of the lessons and is reminded by a notice sent by e-mail to all students.

How to do it

To proceed with the evaluation you need to connect with your UniGePASS credentials to the dedicated page of Online Services.

You have to fill in the questionnaire for each teaching, indicating if you are a student:

attending (more than 50% of presence)
non-attendance (less than 50% of presence)

N.B. If you do not wish to fill in the questionnaire and give your opinion on the service, you must still go to the Online Services page and select the option with which you choose not to give the evaluation.

You can fill out the questionnaire starting:

from 3 November 2021 to 31 March 2022 for the lessons of the first semester
from 4 April 2021 to 31 July 2022 for those of the second semester

For the annual evaluation of the study course, you can join the questionnaire from 4 April 2021 to 15 October 2022.

Problems you may find

During filling in, you may have problems due to:

plan of study not yet loaded
teaching not included in the study plan
incorrect entry of appeal dates in UniGe-didactics
error in the electronic manifesto (wrong indication of the semester for teaching)

If you do not complete the questionnaire the system will block certain actions:

Exams booking block: you can book the exams of your current a.y. study plan only after filling in the teaching evaluation questionnaire. There are no blocks for the enrollment of intermediate tests or exams.
Plan of study upload block: you can upload the study plan of the current a.y. only if you have filled in (or expressed the wish not to fill in) the annual evaluation questionnaire of the previous a.y.'s didactics.
Graduation application block: you can submit your degree application only after completing the annual evaluation questionnaire of the previous year's didactics

If you have detected these problems, you can take one of the following steps:

consult the FAQ
contact the Student Desk
contact the Cedia Technicians (Centro Dati, Informatica e Telematica di Ateneo)
