The student representative must fill in the Form-Fee for student working with course evaluation before reimbursement can be paid. NB. It is not an hourly wage – the set amount of SEK 400 (minus tax) will be paid.

Here there will be a compilation of the students’ evaluation responses.

The public compilation on the web only shows the standard questions and the questions the teacher selected to be public.

No comments will be shown publicly.

After students' possible text comments, a number is displayed indicating which option the person chose. Below the bars are also numbers so you can see (depending on the question type) what the number represents.

Create a pdf

Here, the course coordinator can comment on the course. The course coordinator can also see the student representative’s comments.

Public comments

Appears in the summary for the assessment published on the SLU website.

The Public Comment field is open one month after the valuation has closed. After that, the field is closed for input.

Internal comments

Appears only in Evald and should be used for comments, notes, etc. that should not be made public.

The course evaluation will open by default, so the students can access the evaluation, one week before the course ends and close two weeks after the course ends.

Before the evaluation is opened, the administrator can adjust the dates by selecting the form field of the date.

The department responsible for the course has today the task to archive the report of the evaluation. This will now be done automatically and digitally via Evald, the department doesn’t have to do anything.

When will the automatically archiving of the evaluation report occur?
This will be done twice a year, on June 30 and December 31.

Course evaluations that has been summarized in the spring, by June 30, will be archived on December 31. And in the autumn, by December 31, will be archived on June 30.

What happens in Evald when the evaluation has been archived?
When the evaluation has been archived it will be locked for further editing. It will no longer be possible to add the comments from the course leader and the student representative. This is why the archive process will be 6 months after the evaluation has been summarized.

Example of the message when an evaluation has been archived

This means that on January 2, 2019, all the evaluations that has been summarized June 30, 2018, or earlier will be locked for editing.
