Teaching quality

The student opinion survey questionnaire (OPIS) is a tool aimed at surveying student opinion in order to improve 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.
For this reason, the University recommends its timely and accurate compilation.
More information on the OPIS questionnaires can be found on the following page: https://www.unipr.it/didattica/i-corsi-di-studio/compilazione-del-quest…
