End of semester evaluation
For time and place see: /studier/emner/medisin/med/MEDSEM9/v05/eksamen/
Each semester is evaluated every second year (9th semester: every group) by means of a questionnaire the students complete at the end of the semester. The questionnaire contains general questions about the course and specific questions about the semester. The aim of the evaluation is to uncover the semesters weak and strong points, in order to implement changes (if necessary) and improve the quality of training. Time is set aside for the students to evaluate the semester.
A half-semester evaluation will be performed at semesterweek 11 at the PBL-representative meeting.
