Reporting, LQI and Follow-Up

The follow-up procedure refers to all follow-up measures of the course evaluation that contribute to the continuous improvement of teaching.

The starting point for the reporting and follow-up process is the LQI (teaching quality index). The LQI is an indicator that shows the satisfaction of students with the courses they have attended. The LQI is an indicator that shows how satisfied students are with the courses they have attended. The LQI is based on six quality guidelines (the so-called LQI questions) and is represented by a traffic light system.

Results of the last completed teaching evaluation

The follow-up process takes place each semester at three different levels:

Level 1: The course

After assessing the individual course evaluations, the lecturers present them in the course and discuss the results with the students.

Level 2: KIT Department Board, Study Commission, Dean of Studies

The Quality Management Department (STS-QM) prepares a semester report on course evaluation for each KIT department/teaching unit and makes it available to those responsible. This report contains information on all evaluated courses (e.g., the LQI). Based on this, the results and possible follow-up measures are discussed together with STS-QM.

Level 3: Executive Board Member responsible for Teaching and the Senate Commission for Teaching and Learning

The Quality Management Department prepares a semester report on teaching evaluation for the entire KIT and makes it available to the Senate Commission for Studies and Teaching via the Executive Board Member responsible for Teaching. This is accompanied by a discussion between the Executive Board Member and STS-QM.
