Quality Assurance Strategy
LSE’s approach to assuring the quality of our teaching is set out in the Strategy for Managing Academic Standards which can be found online at lse.ac.uk/tqaro.
As an awarding body LSE must be in a position to assure the standards of its degrees. At the same time, we believe that the design of quality assurance should respect different departmental cultures and academic histories. The strategy sets out broad principles and processes for assuring academic standards and for enhancing the quality of educational provision. The strategy is managed by the Teaching Quality Assurance and Review Office (TQARO).
Student Teaching Surveys
In both Autumn Term and Winter Term TQARO conducts surveys to assess students’ opinions of teaching. Results relating to courses are made available through the course guides in the Calendar.
Teaching scores are made available to teachers, Heads of Departments, the Director of the Teaching and Learning Centre and the Pro Director (Education). In addition to producing reports for individual teachers TQARO produce aggregated quantitative data for departments and School-wide bodies. The results can be found online at lse.ac.uk/tqaro.
