Creating a Pipeline for Reproducible Evaluation Report Generation

Abstract

To ensure lecturers can improve their teaching quality, the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science employs an evaluation process every semester, during which students can evaluate their lecturers anonymous and directly. In addition to individual results, the faculty also manually creates an evaluation report for all institutes belonging to it. To support the evaluation committee in generating the report, a reproducible pipeline will be created to automate this task as much as possible. Special focus will be applied to the concepts of code understandability and (computa- tional) reproducibility, while following modern design, documentation, coding guidelines and specifications. This ensures the pipeline is usable by anyone and continues to stay so in the future. Along with the pipeline, a prototype for a dashboard will be developed with minimal functionality to demonstrate how the processed data can be used to convey results in a way that extends the current evaluation report.
