Course, teaching and tutoring evaluations
The evaluation results are returned to the respective course convenor and their Academic Head (the Head of the department or school). Teaching staff carefully consider the responses to the ‘tick the box’ questions, and read the anonymous open-ended comments from students. It is the responsibility of teaching staff to judge how best to use the feedback in making adjustments and/or improvements to their course, teaching practices etc. In some departments meetings of all teaching staff are convened at the end of the academic year to discuss all evaluation results collectively, share approaches and ideas for improvement etc.
Feedback to students
Teaching staff are strongly encouraged to tell students (either the current year if the evaluation results are available in time, or students who take the course the following year) what changes will/have been made in the course and its teaching as a result of what students have said in their feedback.
Courses with low ratings
A summary of the evaluation results for each Faculty is also provided to the respective Dean. As mandated by the University’s Student Evaluation Policy, this summary includes a list of all courses who do not reach a minimum 70% ‘agree/strongly agree’ response level to the question ‘overall, I am satisfied with the quality of this course.’ The Dean discusses these courses in an annual meeting with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic). The Faculty reviews each course to determine what factors have contributed to the student rating, make improvements where necessary, and subsequently to see, through re-evaluation, if students rate the course more highly.
Performance issues
Where student evaluation results suggest a teaching staff performance issue, this is addressed by the responsible Academic Head, and may involve the Dean of the Faculty. All teaching staff have at least one formal performance review each year. The University devotes considerable resources to ongoing professional development of its staff in order to sustain and where necessary improve teaching practices.
