Checklist
Hearing from student parents in course evaluations
A checklist for quality teams and programme leads who want course evaluations to hear from students with caring responsibilities. It covers asking about caring status safely, analysing by it, timing and format, separating timetabling from teaching, and closing the loop. Use it when reviewing an evaluation process for part-time, professional or postgraduate programmes. Koji supports several steps through short conversational interviews that students can finish on a phone.
What's in this checklist
- Ask an optional question about caring, with prefer not to say
- Compare response rates and themes by caring status
- Run a mid-semester check-in before deadlines pile up
- Keep the window open two weeks, weekend included
- Make it short enough to finish on a phone
- Ask about timetabling separately from teaching
- Ask directly about group work, deadlines and session times
- Tell students what changed, and check small cohorts by hand
