All courses of each faculty are surveyed every three semesters. The statutes for the assurance and development of quality in teaching and learning provide for a survey at least every two years (§9 para. 3). Upon justified request of the students to the respective dean of studies or faculty quality manager, surveys can also be conducted outside the survey cycle. In addition, teachers can request an evaluation at any time via the evaluationform, e.g. to evaluate new formats or if the evaluation is obligatory for their further qualification.

The survey period is scheduled so that an evaluation of the results by the lecturer in the course is possible in the last three weeks of the course. Typically, course evaluations take place in June or December of each year. Please note: FWW and FME have established their own procedures.

The schedule refers to the courses that are held by lecturers of the respective faculty. The allocation of students attending the course to a different faculty is not relevant (e.g. in the case of teaching exports).
