What is the campus tour?
The Campus Tour is a low-barrier engagement initiative in which students are actively involved right on campus in discussions on various topics related to academic studies and teaching. It complements other evaluation methods by gathering spontaneous and open feedback.
The focus is on direct exchange—between students and with the quality management team for academic programs and teaching. Feedback is made visible, enables transparent participation, and is incorporated into quality development in academic programs and teaching.
How does the Campus Tour work?
The Campus Tour takes place every summer semester as an in-person event at central locations on the campuses in Kaiserslautern and Landau. Students are approached directly and can participate spontaneously—no prior knowledge is required.
Feedback is collected on Metaplan boards and is visible to everyone. The format deliberately emphasizes transparency to foster dialogue.
What are the goals of the campus tour?
The Campus Tour aims to (re)strengthen student participation in a sustainable way and create new avenues for evaluation.
The focus is on:
- Engaging students who have not been reached to a significant extent thus far
- Improving the feedback culture through direct dialogue
- Strengthening transparency and feedback
- Further developing academic programs and teaching based on student perspectives
This format creates space for dialogue, makes participation visible, and supports data-driven quality improvement at RPTU.
