The AllWell? student survey
The AllWell? student survey is sent to all Aalto’s 2nd year bachelor's and 1st year master's students every year.
The AllWell? student survey and development of teaching at Aalto University
The annually conducted AllWell? student survey gives us research-based data for planning pedagogical development. A summary of AllWell? results are distributed to Aalto programme directors and school management.
AllWell? results as a basis for development work
AllWell? results may be used as a basis for development work aimed at improving study wellbeing and ability at the university. Teaching is an important area affecting students' wellbeing. AllWell?gives us research-based information for the development planning and implementation of teaching. The survey gauges the effect of teaching on students' wellbeing by soliciting feedback from teachers and by asking students about the consistency and their level of interest in the teaching they receive. A summary of the results are delivered to Aalto programme directors and school management.

How can teaching affect wellbeing?
From the perspective of curriculum and teaching development, students' study wellbeing is supported by:
- Planning teaching so that it is in alignment and consistent at the curriculum level
- Cooperation, communication and peer learning between teachers
- Reducing student workload at the course as well as degree-structure level, and planning teaching from the perspective of the student’s learning path
- Providing feedback and grading methods supportive of learning

The principles of feedback in education and student feedback in Aalto University
In Aalto, feedback is collected from students during different phases of their studies. Hearing the voice of students is vital for the development of teaching and training as well as for quality assurance and for improving study-related services. Feedback is used on multiple levels in many ways and its utilisation is a special area of focus in Aalto. Student guilds and organisations are also interested in and benefit from feedback and surveys.
