Module evaluation
Module evaluation is an opportunity for you to give feedback on a module’s relevance, effectiveness and efficiency.
All taught students can complete module evaluations. The way you provide feedback may vary depending on your school. Most students give feedback in Explorance Blue.
Your feedback helps your school, faculty and the University understand the student experience and make improvements.
Your comments should be honest, clear and respectful. Please follow our guidance on how to give constructive feedback.
Who sees your module feedback
Your anonymised responses are shared with your module leader. Responses may also be seen by your programme leader, seminar tutors, or other relevant staff members. Please don’t include your name or identify yourself in your written comments because these are usually not redacted before being shared with staff.
Broad statistical results and text analysis from multiple modules may be shared more widely.
Module evaluation data is collected, collated and processed by central teams, not by schools. It’s done on a confidential basis, so your identity won’t be shared outside of the central processing teams.
In very rare cases, we may follow up on a student comment. This is usually when a comment raises serious concerns about an individual’s safety or wellbeing.
How we respond to your feedback
Staff respond to evaluations on a module-by-module basis. You may receive a report from your module leader or another staff member. This outlines how they’re reflecting on your feedback.
If your survey is in Explorance Blue, you can go to your homepage and scroll to ‘Reports’ to see module leader responses.
