Course feedback as a course element 

Student feedback is an important part of an inclusive teaching and learning culture at Aalto University, and it is supported by the following principles: feedback is interactive, impactfull and streamlined.

Collecting feedback can be seen as a course element that is planned in a similar manner as e.g. assessment on a course. The planning can focus around three phases: what happens before the course, during the course and at the end of the course.
