Student evaluation of teaching

Student evaluation of teaching (HVS; “student survey”) is a fundamental and mandatory method of evaluating the quality of teaching at the Faculty of Medicine in Pilsen; it takes place once a year. Students evaluate individual courses and teachers in SIS:

  • numerically (by giving a grade),
  • with free comments.

The data obtained is evaluated by a committee consisting of (max.) 9 teachers and 9 students – statistically and by reading all free comments, their classification, and SWOT analysis. The commission’s basic output is the HVS Evaluation Report. The general rules of the HVS are governed by the Rules for the Evaluation of Teaching by LFP Students, with details set out in the methodology published with each commission report.
