PROGRAMME EVALUATION
WelTec is interested in the experience students have during their time studying. As well as
informal conversations with students, there are three main surveys available to students to
express their views and rate WelTec services.
As a student new to WelTec:
In the first few weeks you will be invited to participate in the WelTec EV1 - First Impressions
survey (www.surveymonkey.com/s/WelTecEV1). This is open to first-time WelTec students,
and asks for your rating of and views about your enrolment experience, the initial in-class
experience, and also your experience of our online resource systems, Moodle or LearnZone.
During your course time:
Your course outline may indicate that your course will have an EV4 - Teacher and Course
Evaluation undertaken towards the end. This helps the Programme Team to improve the
teaching, the course, and the value of the Programme to students. Note: you will need a
specific 'survey event code' supplied by the survey administrator to use the EV4.
