Student Module Evaluation

Introduction to Student Module Evaluation (SME)

This is your opportunity as a student to feed back on taught modules in a simple and confidential way.

The results of the evaluation will help your school to better understand your needs and expectations, plus inform future module developments and enhancements.

The SME has been designed to record constructive feedback.

Who needs to complete the SME?

All undergraduate and taught postgraduate students will receive an email invitation to complete the online SME. You'll be asked to complete an evaluation for each module. The questions asked should take approximately three to five minutes to complete, depending on how detailed a response you wish to provide.

What topic areas are covered by the evaluation?

  • Teaching and academic support
  • Resources and learning environment
  • Assessment
  • Overall satisfaction

The questionnaire asks students to indicate their level of agreement with a series of question statements using a five-point scale, in which 5 = definitely agree, 4 = mostly agree, 3 = neither agree or disagree, 2 = mostly disagree and 1 = definitely disagree

How can I access the SME?

You'll receive one email invite sent to your University email account. The invite will contain a link to an evaluation for each module you are registered on. You can also access your SMEs via Blackboard, please follow the instructions provided by your Module Leader.

Is my feedback confidential?

Your feedback will become confidential and anonymous once you press the submit button. Feedback is stored in a summary module file that will be shared with your Module Leader once the evaluation has closed.
