Further information

As part of the Metropolia UAS strategy, we use an electronic course feedback system. This provides an opportunity for you to feedback on different aspects of the course through a series of pre-set questions and qualitative comments. Approximately two weeks before the end of the course, you will receive an automated invitation via your Metropolia email account to complete your evaluation online.
Please take the time to complete as your feedback is important. It informs ongoing developments to individual courses to ensure that the learning needs and expectations of the School of Health Care student community are met to a high standard.
To strengthen the feedback cycle, a report summarizing the course lead’s reflections on your feedback will be sent to you after the online evaluation survey has closed.
