Each section has at least one educational supervisor who works to improve your education and ensure that your opinions are taken into account. You can contact this if you have opinions about your education that you want it to convey to the course coordinators and the student union. You can also turn to your education supervisor if any problems arise with your education.

The education monitor sits in regular meetings with the program management, course coordinator, and the union's educational developers. If you do not belong to a section or do not know which section you belong to, you can always contact the union's educational supervisor for support.

Your education is one of the student union's most important tasks. We are working together with your section to ensure that your education meets the standards. If you experience a problem in your education, you have the right to react.

What does an education monitor do?

Together with the sections, we monitor and develop your education. We believe that your education will improve if you have the opportunity to influence it. Therefore, we are working to create conditions for you to influence and shape your education. The easiest way to express your opinion is to fill out the course evaluation that is sent out after you have completed the course. If no course evaluation is sent out, you should contact your educational supervisor in your section. You can always turn to educational supervisors if you have opinions about your education. The union's work on education largely involves advocacy towards the university to improve your study situation. We ensure that every decision affecting you and your education has gone through at least one student. The union also works at the national level through the Swedish National Union of Students, where our focus, among other things, is on more teacher-led time.

Good to know about your education

Good to know about courses

• All programs and courses must have an educational and course syllabus that the university is obligated to follow.
• Look at the syllabus before you start the course – then you'll know what you're getting into and what to expect from the course.
• You will be given the opportunity to evaluate the course you have taken and express your opinions through the course evaluation system EvaLiUate. (more information down below). You will also receive a summary of the evaluations.
• The examiner shall hold a writing review or issue a written solution proposal after each written exam.
• Don't forget to register for the course so that you can take the exam and receive your grades!

Good to know about exams

• You will receive the result from an exam more than 10 working days before the retake, and no later than 15 working days from the exam date, your grade should be reported in LADOK.
• You will find out the date for the retake exam no later than the regular exam.
• You have the opportunity to request a new examiner before your third exam attempt.
• It is not possible to appeal the grade on your examination. But you have the right to have it reconsidered in the case of clearly erroneous decisions.
• Your examiner should assess and grade your individual performance – and thus be certain of what you as an individual have done and not just your group.

The course evaluation system EvaLiUate

After each completed course, you will have the opportunity to provide feedback on the course through the course evaluation system EvaLiUate. Giving feedback and having an influence on your education is a legal right you have as a student. The results from EvaLiUate form the basis for much of the student union's advocacy work on how education can be improved, and it is therefore important that as many people as possible fill out the evaluation.

Course schedules

Course syllabi are the legal documents between you and the university where the terms of the course are specified. The syllabus includes, among other things, the course objectives, content, course literature, grading methods, and how the course will be examined. The university is legally obligated to follow the syllabus. If you notice that your teacher is not following the syllabus (for example, replacing a take-home exam with a written exam), you should react and contact your section's educational supervisor or the student union.
