Kvalitetsutveckling Our cooperation with JSA, the student organization, is crucial. This work is conducted on two levels, programs and courses. Programme level On the program level students elect student representatives for each track of the program and each study year of the program. The student representatives and the program managers meet regularly to discuss courses and the progress of the programme. The representatives stay in contact with course coordinators to share the overall impression and student experiences from courses, in addition, the programme manager, student representatives, JSA and faculty meet annually to discuss the entire program. Course level On the course level, program developers and course responsible meet shortly after the course has started. The purpose is to ensure that the course is working well and if necessary make minor changes. After each course is finished all students perform course evaluations in PingPong, and program developers evaluate the course on the aggregate level and communicate with program manager and course responsible.
