Comparison

Standard course survey vs challenge-based course evaluation

What to change when students define the problem and work in mixed teams

Comparison of a standard course survey with an evaluation built for challenge-based courses, set out across who is rated, what is asked and when.
Changing what you ask is cheaper than explaining misleading scores to a programme board.

A side-by-side guide for quality and teaching teams evaluating challenge-based or interdisciplinary courses. It shows where a standard end-of-course questionnaire misfires and what a fitted evaluation asks instead: separate ratings for facilitator, partner and team, a mid-course check-in, examples of integration and partner feedback. Koji can run the mid-course and end-of-course interviews with follow-up questions.

What's in this comparison

Standard course survey

  • Rates one lecturer
  • Rewards clear, fixed objectives
  • No questions about the team
  • Asks how much was learned
  • One survey at the end

Challenge-based course evaluation

  • Rates facilitator, partner and team separately
  • Checks in after problem definition and at the end
  • Asks for examples of using another discipline
  • Adds structured feedback from the partner
  • Reads ratings next to outputs and observations
