Top rated courses and teachers at FIR in the summer semester!

At the end of each semester, students at the VŠE evaluate the quality of the course, the material covered, as well as the expertise and preparation of the teachers. Take a look at the results from the summer semester!

“We pay special attention to student course evaluations at FIR. For evaluations, we are using the Power BI tool in the so-called FIR Quality Centre, which allows us to compare courses with each other and evaluate their position within the programmes and offerings of the faculty. The comments in the student evaluations are mostly addressed by the guarantors of the individual courses, who regularly evaluate them with other course teachers,” explains Mgr. Ing. Daniel Houska, PhD, Vice-Dean for Academic Affairs at FIR. “At the Quality Centre, we also monitor teacher evaluation, which includes questions focused on the qualifications, readiness and interest of specific teachers. These are all conceived in the evaluations from the 2019/2020 academic year,” adds the vice-dean.

Satisfaction with the quality of the course, its difficulty, usefulness but also the interest and availability of materials and literature are reflected in the overall evaluation of the course.

The evaluation of the lecturers includes the qualification and expertise of the lecturers, the preparedness of classes, the clarity of the explanation and the ability to explain the material, and the interest and ability to answer and solve students’ questions.

Course evaluations by students were conducted at the end of the summer semester of the 2021-2022 academic year. To be listed in the following order, there must be at least 25 evaluations in both categories.
