Results of the SET for Module 3 and Spring SEPA Campaign in the 2025-2026 Academic Year Have Been Compiled and Approved
The survey involved over 55,000 students from 327 undergraduate, specialist, and master's educational programs across all four campuses of HSE University.
A total of 3,107 academic courses and 1,364 practical training elements, as well as the work of 4,070 instructors and 1,358 practical training supervisors, were evaluated. In total, students submitted 3,728,020 ratings based on various criteria and left 331,888 substantive text comments, including:
- 72,974 comments on the content of courses and practical training elements;
- 95,702 comments on the work of instructors and practical training supervisors;
- 2,379 comments on online courses used;
- 1,621 comments on internships and fieldwork;
- 46,941 comments on current courses, the assessment for which will take place in subsequent modules;
- 105,190 comments on educational programmes administration.
Over the past week, the SET results have been distributed specifically to university staff for their careful review:
- Staff of academic offices received general comments regarding the organization of the educational process within their programs.
- Academic supervisors received all feedback related to their programs.
- Heads of departments and chairs received all feedback concerning their courses and instructors.
- Faculty deans received summaries regarding their students, instructors, and courses.
The SET results have also been published in the system and have become available to instructors in their personal accounts on the HSE LMS platform. More information on how to access the ratings can be found here, and guidance on how best to approach interpreting the received data can be found here.
※ Instructors whose contract with HSE University has already ended and who do not have access to the information systems may currently contact the managers of the department or program where they taught to obtain the results.
☆☆ In this module, students were offered for the first time to assess the quality and content delivery of the Independent Exams (IE), the first of which were the university-wide undergraduate tests in Digital Literacy and English. A total of 7,081 text-based comments were received. The results obtained will help improve the future organization of the IEs and will also be taken into account by educational programs when designing preparation strategies within prerequisite courses.
☆ This academic year, as part of the SET, a pilot evaluation of teaching assistants is being implemented. In total, around 400 assistants were evaluated during the semester; they received 35,349 ratings and 5,237 substantive comments. This is an important initiative, as it provides assistants with a unique opportunity to review structured feedback. This experience will allow them to improve current practices and prepare for future professional teaching.
Regular feedback from students enables the university to obtain a sufficiently accurate, empirically based understanding of the educational process and to consider it in further planning of educational policy.
