Teaching quality

Ensuring QUALQuality is an indispensable process that involves all those who work in the Athenaeum in which each individual's progress benefits the entire Athenaeum and stimulates the healthy confrontation to which it is necessary to strive in order to make the social role played by the Athenaeum effective and concrete.

'QUALITY ASSURANCE' means:

  • defining quality policies in tune and synergy with the University's strategic directions and reliable and robust procedures through which the governing bodies can implement them;
  • implementing activities to ensure effectiveness and efficiency in all the University's internal processes, first and foremost in the service of the quality of education and research;
  • creating awareness in all those who work in the University so that everyone's tasks are carried out competently and promptly, the services provided are effective, and a record is kept of what has been done to monitor and measure results.

Student Opinion Survey Questionnaire (OPIS)

The student opinion survey questionnaire (OPIS) is a tool designed to detect student opinion with a view to improving teaching, quality and the organisation of study courses and is an integral part of the evaluation system. For students, it is an important opportunity to make their voice heard and actively participate in the life of their course of study, as a guarantee of better Quality Assurance: this is why the University recommends that it be filled in punctually and accurately.

More information on the OPIS questionnaires can be found on the following page: Student opinion survey questionnaires (OPIS)

 

Organisation and responsibility for Course Quality Assurance (AQ)

Quality Assurance of Courses of Study (CdS) is a constituent element of the management, monitoring and measurement of the dynamics governing teaching.

The actors of the Quality Assurance of the Course of Study are:

  • Course of Study President
  • Quality assurance manager (RAQ)
  • Course Council
  • Course of Study Steering Committee
  • Review Group

For the purposes of Quality Assurance, each CoS is required to:

  • apply, as far as it is concerned, the policies and general guidelines for Quality established by the governing bodies;
  • carry out self-assessment and review of its training and management of the CdS based on the analyses reported in the annual report of the CPDS and the data provided by ANVUR, the Evaluation Committee and the Organisational Unit (O.U.) Management Control, also comparing itself with similar Boards with a view to benchmarking;
  • to promote continuous improvement and assess its effectiveness;
  • to implement the evaluation of teaching in accordance with the University's arrangements.

At Department and University level, the bodies involved in QA are described on the following pages of the institutional websites:
