Grumble Weeks 2022
JAMKO’s feedback weeks, more commonly known as Jupinaviikot, were organized from March 28 to April 18, when feedback was collected from students about Jamk’s education, guidance and well-being services. There were a total of 365 respondents. The most students who responded to the feedback were from the social and health sector, with a response rate of 13.
For example, the different passing requirements for the courses, while the number of credits are still the same, as well as the wish for uniformity in the teaching spaces (Moodle) came up as areas for development in the feedback. Students from the fields of natural resources and social and health care were worried about the adequacy of teaching staff and reaching teachers.
JAMKO also received feedback during Grumble Weeks. They hoped, for example, that JAMKO’s activities would also be more widely seen on campuses other than Rajakatu and that versatile events would be organized throughout the year. JAMKO’s board has reacted to the feedback JAMKO has received, and solutions to the issues have been considered together.
The public reports are published on JAMKO’s website in Finnish
This year, Hannu Haapamaa was awarded as staff member of the year, and the selection was based entirely on the students’ opinions. The students perceived him as a person who is approachable and warm-hearted. He has also promoted students’ issues with his own personality, expertise and work contribution and acted as a positive example in the development of education and well-being.
Grumble Weeks’ follow up events
At the field-specific Follow up events, we discuss the feedback from the Grumble Weeks and find ways to develop things among the staff and students. Each study field will have its own event from 12 to 23 September, either remotely or in a hybrid form. The events are hosted by JAMKO’s board.
