Evald Doctoral Courses Guides

This is how the evaluation will look to the students. Here you can see what the students will see when they answer the assessment.

Above the evaluation the students see this text:
"Your opinion matters to us. We welcome both positive and negative feedback. Any criticisms must be constructive and matter-of-fact and may not contain insulting wording about any individuals."
