Who are the best professors of the summer semester at FIR? Look at the results of the student evaluations!

At the end of every semester, student evaluations are held throughout the whole Prague University of Economics and Business. Students are providing feedback to the classes they attended: They evaluate the overall quality of the course, the subject matter, and the professionalism and preparation of lectors. Look at the results of the summer semester!

“We pay special attention to the student evaluations at FIR. They are assessed by the Power BI tool in FIR Quality Center, which enables us to compare classes and evaluate their position in the study programs and faculty offer. The student comments are assessed mainly by the guarantors of the classes, who are considering them together with the individual lectors,” explains doc. Pavel Hnát, the vice-dean of the Faculty of International Relations. “We are also monitoring teacher evaluations at the Quality Centre, which include questions on the competence, readiness, and interest of specific teachers. The teacher evaluations were launched at the beginning of the academic year 2019/2020,” adds Vice-Dean.

The final results of subjects mirror the satisfaction with the quality of the class, its difficulty, benefits, interestingness, and the availability of study materials and literature.

The evaluation of the professors consists of the main factors, such as the level of qualification, preparation for the class, comprehensibility of the interpretation of the subject matter, interest, and ability to answer and deal with the questions and student problems.

The student evaluation was open at the end of the summer semester of the Academic Year 2020 – 2021.
