History of the teaching award
The quality of university teaching is evaluated anonymously by students using standardized questionnaires at the end of each semester. The evaluation of teaching has become widespread in Germany and is also firmly anchored in laws and university policy recommendations. A summary evaluation report is prepared once a year and published within the university.
