But who actually determines the direction of development? The "QM circles" play an important role here. They consist of lecturers as well as people from science management as well as student representatives who evaluate all the information about a degree program. This includes, for example, assessments by experts from science, teaching and research - but feedback from students also plays a central role. Every two years, all students in a degree program have the opportunity to anonymously and openly provide their own personal feedback on their degree program: What is going well? What could be better? Where can we still provide support?
However, it is not only about the degree program and teaching - the students' life situation is also examined. Especially after three semesters under the influence of the pandemic, active exchange with students is indispensable in order to take the lessons learned from the Corona period into the next semesters. The questions therefore cover numerous factors, from overarching aspects such as workload, existing advising services or the goals of a degree program to the quality and organization of courses.
