Feedback on studies

On the front page of the Feedback site, you will see all the implementations you have been accepted to and who have an active feedback form. On each row, you will see the name and code of your implementations/groups of implementations and the type of their feedback form (e.g. final feedback).

The feedback system’s language should be the same as your Peppi student's desktop. You can change the language into Finnish or English. Feedback forms are displayed in the language of their implementation/group of implementations.

The system has feedback forms for both individual implementations and groups of implementations. A group of implementation contains several implementations that have one common feedback form.

Front Page

Note! If the page is empty, please check that your browser is Chrome, Mozilla Firefox or Safari. On the front page, you can see the status of each feedback form. The status can be: 

1. Active (blue speech bubble)
   • The survey is open and you can leave feedback.
2. Waiting for report (green speech bubble) ATTN! This feature is only available for final feedback.
   • You have already given feedback, but the deadline has not passed yet.
3. Feedback report is available (green bars) ATTN! This feature is only available for final feedback.
   • The deadline to give feedback has passed. You can view the mean average of all the numerical feedback that was given. The report will be shown, if there are at least four (4) responses from students.
4. Teacher/teacher team has published a response to the feedback (two green speech bubbles). ATTN! This feature is only available for final feedback.
   • The deadline to give feedback has passed and the teacher/teacher team has written a response to the feedback they have received. You can read the response from the feedback report. If there are less than four (4) responses from students, then the report will not be shown and you can only read the teacher’s response.

In case you did not submit feedback by the due date ATTN! This feature is only available for final feedback:

• The implementation/group of implementaions disappears from your list on the front page as soon as the deadline has passed.
• You will not see a summary of the submitted feedback.
• You will not see the teacher’s/teacher team's response to the feedback.
   

In case the front page has no implementations/groups of implementations:

• There are no active feedback forms.
• There is no feedback summary available and no response to feedback.
   

Take also into consideration these exceptional situations:

• In case you are removed from an implementation after its feedback form has been activated, the form will disappear from your list.
  • If you already submitted feedback before you were removed from the implementation, you will no longer see your feedback in the system. You will not get the feedback report or see the response your teacher might publish for the feedback.
     

Filling out a Feedback Form

In order to open a feedback form on Peppi student’s desktop: 

1. Select the Feedback on Studies tab.
2. Click on Give feedback at the end of the line on the right side of the implementation’s/group of implementations' name.
   • On the form, you should see the name and code of the implementation/group of implementations, the implementations included in a group, teachers’ names and the type of the feedback form (e.g. final feedback). You can also see how many days you have left to submit feedback. The form closes at 11:59 pm on the last day.
        
3. You will see an asterisk (*) next to all mandatory questions. All questions are optional and answers are always anonymous (unless you write your name or other information on the form yourself). The questions arealways in the language of the implementation.
4. In order to submit your answers, click on Save.
   • You can read the questions beforehand, but once you start filling the form, you need to submit the answers straight away, as the system will not save them. Once you have successfully submitted your feedback, you will be redirected to a thank you page. You can only submit your feedback once per each form. Answers cannot be edited afterwards.

Filling out the feedback form via a link given by the teacher:

You can fill out a feedback form also via a link given by the teacher. The link will direct you to the feedback form when it’s active. Otherwise you get a notification about the status of the feedback form, for example why the form is closed and if you already have given feedback.

Please note that Peppi student's desktop's logon has a time limit. In case you are idle for a long time, your session will expire. The system does not have an autosave feature, and in case you do not submit your responses straight away, they will disappear and you must start over. You will see a notification at the top of the page when the session is about to expire.
 

Feedback Report

Once the deadline to submit feedback has passed, the students who gave feedback will have the opportunity to see a summary report of all the answers that were given for the questionnaire, if there are at least four (4) responses from students. ATTN! This feature is only available for final feedback

1. Open the summary report from the front page by clicking on Show report.
   • You will also see how long the report is still available.
2. The report shows you the mean averages of the responses that have numerical values. Answers to open-ended questions are not included in the report.
3. You can also see the number of respondents and the response rate. Please note that the report two tabs: Number of responses and Average values.
4. You can change the bar chart’s orientation by clicking on the round arrow icon.

In case you do not submit feedback, you will not see the summary of other student’s responses nor the response your teacher might publish to the feedback.

Feedback Report and Teacher’s Response

Once the deadline to submit feedback has passed, students who gave feedback can view a summary of all the feedback that was submitted, if there are at least four (4) responses from students.The teacher will have a few weeks to respond to the feedback, if they choose to do so. ATTN! This feature is only available for final feedback. Students who have submitted the feedback will be notified by email when the teacher's response to the feedback is published.

1. In case a teacher publishes a response to the students’ feedback, you will see a text adjacent to the implementation/group of implementations stating View report and response to feedback or View response to feedback, if there is no report to view.
   • You will also see how long the response is accessible.
2. Select View report and response to feedback or View response to feedback.
   • You will see the teacher’s response at the beginning of the page.

Please note that if you have not submitted feedback by the deadline, you will not see the summary of the study feedback nor the teacher’s response.
