Teaching quality

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 degree 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 degree course, 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: https://www.unipr.it/en/node/9289

For the purposes of Quality Assurance, the degree course makes use of bodies and figures, whose functions and competences are defined by the University Regulations, the Department Regulations and the Quality Assurance Guidelines.

Review Group

The Review Group (GR) is a committee of the degree course whose main activity consists in analysing the results of the course's educational processes, with the aim of identifying critical points and possible improvement actions. 
The Review Group:

• has the task of guiding the degree course towards the goal of continuous improvement of its results;
• it manages the self-assessment process by periodically monitoring the course data, detecting strengths and weaknesses and proposing corrective and improvement actions;
• drafting the Annual Monitoring Form (AMS);
• drafting the Cyclical Review Report (CBR).

Members of the Review Group:

• Prof. Roberta Saleri  (Course President)
• Prof. Simone Taddei (Quality Assurance Manager)
• Ms. Giulia Branca (MQD)
• Ms. Margherita Rossetto (Student Representative)
