Audits can also be transmitted via electronic mail. Continued improvements in printing capabilities will also improve the ability to respond to student and advisor needs. Congratulations and thanks to the Advising Coordinators and the Admissions and Records people in the departments and college for helping make the new system work. Observe Robert C. Wilson described various approaches to helping faculty members improve their teaching as a part of a three-year program at the University of California, Berkeley. One approach was to help instructors assess their own teaching through a Self-Description of Teaching Questionnaire.
Instructors can indicate to what extent each of the items is descriptive of their teaching.
Keep students informed of their progress. Once the questionnaire is completed, the instructor has more guidance in deciding what area or areas to address to improve the teaching performance. Using the same questionnaire at the end of the following semester, and making comparisons with ICES scores and peer assessments of teaching, will allow the instructor to make continuous improvements so that, in the end, students learn more and perform better in the course.
