International Student Barometer: feedback collected from international students in November-December
Aalto University is taking part in the International Student Barometer (ISB). The ISB survey will be open from 24 November 2022 to 19 December 2022, and an invitation to the survey will be sent by email to all Aalto’s international students.
The ISB survey focuses on evaluating and enhancing international student satisfaction, expectation, and experience. The results provide valuable information for developing services for students. For example, since the last survey in 2017, orientation and career services for international students at Aalto have seen a number of changes and improvements.

I interviewed two Aalto University instructors who have used glossaries created by students as coursework in a subject course and a field-specific language course. The assignments are based on active learning methods: the glossaries are not created by the instructor, but by the learners themselves. The interview focused, among other things, on the teaching philosophy behind developing the glossary tasks, how the learning of field-specific vocabulary can be linked to the overall learning objectives of the course, and what technical solutions enable students’ active learning in glossary assignments.
