- Extend the current set of the questions in the evaluation forms with the points like “The lecture uses gender-sensitive language” and “The examples provided by the lecture do not provoke gender stereotypes”.
At the University of Muenster each course is evaluated by the students attending to it.
This initiative could motivate the lecturers to use gender-sensitive language and avoid the transmission of gender stereotypes within the course.
This initiative could become the first step towards raising awareness about the gender equality issues among both students and academic staff members.
