Course evaluations at Chalmers
Common process from
academic year 2007/08
Overview for
teachers and students
Continuous course development
Course evaluations are a part
of the never-ceasing efforts to
improve courses and
programmes at Chalmers.
Student experiences, as expressed
and collected in course
evaluations, form an essential
input to this development of
quality.
Which courses are affected?
All courses at Chalmers are evaluated as
described here
… with the possible exception of courses
at the master level with few (< 20) students.
These may adopt a simplified process, where
teacher and students continuously discuss the
course.
What does Swedish law say?
According to Swedish law, the university
shall give each student, who
participates in a course, an
opportunity to express his/her views
on the course in a course evaluation
organized by the university.
The university shall put evaluations
together and inform about the results
and possible actions taken in
response. Results shall be made
available to the students.
Goals for the evaluation process
• The aim of the process is to develop the goals,
contents and pedagogy of the courses, focusing on
student learning.
• The process shall encourage a dialogue between
teachers and students on how the education can be
improved.
• The process shall profit from student experiences, in
order to improve current and future courses, as
well as the study programmes as a whole.
The process• Three meetings between 2-6 student representatives and the
teacher. In the final meeting, also representatives from the programme, the department and the student union may attend.
• Brief, web-based, anonymous questionnaire to all students.
• Minutes from the final meeting available in the student portal.

Chalmers centrally, responsibilities
• Maintains and develops course evaluation
process.
• Provides IT support (questionnaire system,
minutes template, routines for linking from
portal).
• Informs about process and tools.
Programme leadership,
responsibilities
• Appoints (in collaboration with student union)
student representantives; informs teacher.
• Assembles and distributes standard
questionnaire.
• Puts questionnaire results together.
• Schedules and calls to final meeting.
• Chairs final meeting and archives minutes in
Chalmers’ document system.
Teacher, responsibilites
• Informs briefly about process during course introduction and in course documents; presents student representantatives.
• Calls two first meetings together, publishes notes from 2nd meeting on course website.
• Presents his/her views and experiences at final meeting.
• Develops course for next year, according to departmental decisions and routines.
Student representantatives,
responsibilities
• Inform themselves of their fellow students’ views on the course.
• Pass these views on at the meetings and participate in discussions in a personal capacity.
• May propose course-specific questions in questionnaire.
• Inform fellow students of discussions and recommendations at the meetings.
Each representative is reimbursed with a voucher
for 200 SEK, valid at Cremona.
Meetings 1 and 2• First meeting (week 1) is brief and will typically take
place in connection with a teaching activity.
Aims: to establish contact, clarify teacher’s and
students’ thoughts regarding the course and to
decide on and publish time for meeting 2.
• The second meeting (week 3-4) discusses e.g.
– Changes in the course since last year.
– Study climate (communication, work load, supervision).
– Problematic course items; can resources be used better?
– Course-specific questions in questionnaire; other material for final
meeting?
Notes are published on course website..
Final meetingTakes place in week 4 of the subsequent study period.
Examination complete, questionnaire summarized.
More attendees: representatives for programme,
department and student union.
• Summarizing judgment.
• Goal fulfilment.
• Organisation and pedagogy.
• Study climate.
• Desirable changes for next year.

• Transient voltages in windfarms
• Transformer diagnostics
• Modelling of electric discharges
• Efficiency of building related pump and fan operation –System solutions, motor technology and control
• Isolated rural distribution networks with a large penetration of renewable sources
Aim of Electric Power Engineering
• is to serve the society and industry with
fundamental and advanced knowledge in the
field of electric power, trough well educated
engineers.
• is to impart an advanced level education in
Electric Power Engineering to students
Electric Power Engineering
Programme plan
According to the tradition Electric Power will give the students in the master’s programme;
• good theoretical knowledge by means of lectures and tutorials.
• good practical experience by means of computer exercises (simulation) and laboratory exercises (experimentation).
• good contact with industry by means of invited guest lecturers, study visits and
• opportunity to carry out master thesis work in industry.
To be master in Electric Power
Engineering
The core of the programme is the 13 courses giving a solid foundation
in the electric power area for the students who are aiming to be
specialists.
However, it is also possible for the student to select a minimum of 6
courses, in electric power and broaden their interest by taking
courses in Control Theory, Hardware Design, Signals and Systems,
Energy and Environment, Economics and Management or Material
Technology
And Master’s Thesis Work
