The student feedback system consists of study feedback collected from study courses and national surveys.

We also encourage you to give immediate feedback to e.g. teachers, study advisors and study services. Our general feedback channel can be found on the website of the university of applied sciences: the feedback form.
We collect course feedback from each course through Peppi. You can give quick feedback through the system during the study period as many times as you want and final feedback at the end of the study period. Teachers use the feedback they receive in the development of the course and can also give counter-feedback to the feedback. Feedback reports are visible to students and teachers when at least five answers have been given to the final feedback.
