Student feedback on teaching is an important element of the University's process for quality assurance of education. The feedback is helpful to the university in the continuous quest for improvements in teaching and thereby enhancing the students' learning experience in NUS.

The online Student Feedback Exercise is usually conducted two weeks before the start of each Semester Examination and one week before the start of the Special Term Examination. In this exercise, the students' privacy is protected with responses not being traceable to specific identities. In addition, instructors will not have access to the student feedback responses until after the examination results have been released.
