- Abstract
Student evaluation is a structural element in monitoring the quality of MA programmes. Evaluation can have a summative character if carried out at the end of a module or of the whole programme. When carried out during the course of the programme, evaluation is more formative in character and intended to monitor student progress on the one hand and to adjust the programme (to the extent it is possible) to the students' perceived needs on the other. Our presentation will focus on formative evaluation of the MA programme "Research and Teacher Education for Business and Economics" (EDU-RES) run by the Academy of Economic Studies in Bucharest as a staff development programme. We will discuss the data obtained through individual interviews carried out at the end of the first year and will highlight issues related to student progress as well as issues that tutors can build on in the attempt to improve programme quality. Apart from compliance to standards, quality is also a matter of perception and the students' perspective needs to be taken into account particularly in the case of internationalized programmes.
