Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin - Faculty of Life Sciences

At the Faculty of Life Sciences, all courses that have taken place per semester are evaluated using the Unizensus system. The results are presented and discussed in the form of a statistical summary (evaluation report) in the Departmental Boards and Faculty Board. In addition, the report is made available to the teachers and student councils and discussed in the Teaching and Learning Committees. 

All questions concerning course evaluations can be addressed to the evaluation team.

There are plans to publish the individual results of the course evaluation in future. If you have any further questions, you can contact the teaching and learning management team.
