Feedback Policy

Purpose

The purpose of this policy is to provide clear guidance on how students at Yoga Veda Institute of Ayurvedic Medicine (YVIAM) should submit feedback regarding their courses, instructors, or the program as a whole. This ensures that feedback is directed to the appropriate departments for effective review and action. The policy also protects the learning environment and upholds respect for both students and instructors.

Feedback Channels

Feedback Form Submission

All feedback must be submitted through the designated Feedback Form, which is directed to administration. This form ensures that feedback is reviewed by those with the authority to make meaningful changes. Feedback submitted outside this channel may not reach the appropriate person for timely review and response. The Feedback Form link is available on our student portal.

Quarterly Course Evaluations

At the end of each quarter, all students will be required to complete a Course Evaluation for each course they participate in. This feedback is reviewed by the Dean of Education, discussed with the academic team, and shared with the respective instructor as part of our continuous improvement process.

Guidelines for Providing Feedback

Proper Channels

Students are expected to use the official Feedback Form and Quarterly Course Evaluations to submit their feedback. Sending feedback directly to the general inquiry email or addressing it to instructors outside the structured feedback process may lead to miscommunication and delays in review.

Respectful Communication

Feedback should be constructive and aimed at improving the learning experience for all. Confronting or criticizing instructors directly—whether during class, after class, or through personal emails—creates a disruptive environment and is strictly prohibited. This policy is in place to protect the integrity of the learning environment and to support our faculty.

Policy Enforcement

Students who do not follow these guidelines may be subject to further review and may receive a formal reminder of YVIAM’s feedback policy. Respecting these guidelines is essential for maintaining a positive, constructive, and respectful educational environment for everyone involved.
