The activity involves all courses at all levels of Dramaturgy and Musicology and invites both students and teaching staff at the department to a joint seminar on feedback.
Students have asked for more feedback in the degree programmes, which is why a one-day seminar on feedback was organised for both students and teachers at the department. The motivation is that the joint one-day seminar provides teachers and students with a shared understanding of the theme of the day.

The purpose of organising a seminar on feedback is that both teachers and students become more familiar with different types of feedback and have the opportunity to discuss the benefits and challenges associated with feedback from both perspectives. Moreover, the event sends a signal to the students that they are being “seen”, and that the teachers at the department are listening to their needs.
This example of practice is developed in connection to "Projekt 1. studieår", where initiatives for retention at the faculty of arts at Aarhus University was mapped.
