Survey on PhD students opinions

A new survey will be available on this page in 2013.
The survey closed on 31st July 2012.

What is the Survey on PhD Students' opinions?
The Evaluation Committee (Nucleo di Valutazione) of the University of Turin is currently monitoring the overall quality of all PhD courses.  An essential component of the evaluation process is provided by students’ opinions about their training and research activities.  These opinions are collected through the yearly submission of an anonymous survey to a cohort of PhD students.

Why XXIV "ciclo" PhD Students?
This year the focus is on PhD students enrolled into the XXIII “ciclo”. We seek their opinion as they have a three year experience that should allow them  to give a thoughtful view on the PhD program strengths and weaknesses.

A PDF copy of the form can be downloaded from the "documents" section in this page. You need about 15 minutes for the filling.

Once filled in, you have to send the survey by clicking on "OK send" at the end of the page. A pop-up will appear notifying the data sending. If you don't answer some questions, a message of error will appear showing where an answer is needed. The final sending will be possible only when all questions are properly answered.
Warning! You have only 40 minutes to complete the survey. For security reasons, at the end of 40 minutes the session will be automatically closed and the filling will be invalidated.
All data will be processed according to current Italian regulations. Data will be published only in aggregated form.  Personal data given in the first section will be processed separately from opinions and judgments. Personal comments will not be sent to PhD coordinators. They will be processed by the Evaluation Committee and reported to the coordinator as general information only.
