It is the University's policy to have every lecture-based course to be evaluated by students. The first two multiple-choice questions collect background data of the respondents. Questions 3 to 13 evaluate the course and questions 14 to 29 evaluate the instructor. There are 6 open-ended questions asking students to comment on the course and the instructor. Course evaluation is normally done in weeks 13-14 of each semester.
Students now complete the course evaluation questionnaire on the Web.
Data collected are then processed and analyzed by the system, which then generates reports and distributes them on-line. Instructors are able to view their own teaching evaluation reports online, including students' responses to open-ended questions. They can use the system to create their course specific questionnaires and collect feedback from their students whenever they choose. Teaching Portfolio - An alternative approach to teaching evaluation While students' feedback towards a course is important in teaching evaluating. What teaching involves goes far beyond what happens in the classroom.
