aculty member is a combination of various activities in a university that relate to more than passing knowledge to students. Based on the annual faculty monitoring, May issue of “That’s So HSE” tells from the first person perspective what it means to be a faculty member. The first page features various work activity of faculty both in and outside of HSE. The spread reflects diversity of activity of HSE faculty.

Faculty members don’t only evaluate students but HSE as a whole: participants of Monitoring of Faculty Life express their opinion about conditions created at HSE for work and development, which can be found on the fourth page of this issue.

Dear students! At HSE teachers aren’t the only ones who give grades; students can also grade faculty.

Faculty rating will start at the end of fourth module. Rating is the instrument of feed-back and an excellent opportunity to evaluate characteristics of educational process and teaching within a department/ division, as well as to find out opinions and sug-gestions from students regarding specific courses. Rating results are analyzed by the university’s management and play a role in improvement of educational process.

Participation in the rating is the important task for each student. For your conve-nience rating takes place electronically. Each student will receive an e-mail to their university e-mail address (@edu.hse.ru) with the survey link. By completing this survey you will be able to evaluate work of faculty who taught your course in third and fourth modules.
