Evaluation gives you feedback on your courses and teaching to use in
continuous improvement of your teaching, and in documenting the quality of your teaching
over time.
|
ANUSET
(ANU's Student Evaluation of Teaching) |
Standardised questionnaires on request for individual teachers
and teaching teams, designed to gather feedback on courses, lecturing, tutoring, and flexibly delivered
courses (e.g. mostly online). ANUSET allows for lecturers to add a
few of their own questions and have these analysed automatically. A question
or item bank is available to assist in question formation.
Sample images of the current forms are available. Forms are available to ANU staff from CEDAM or your local administrator on requesting an evaluation. Note that for
technical reasons photocopies of forms cannot be processed. |
RIGs
(Ratings Interpretation Guidelines) |
RIGs
offers analyses of student evaluation data gathered by courses and teaching (lecturing or
tutoring). A RIGs index
web page describing the data and has links to sets
of tables of averages. The data is aggregated on a rolling three year average. The most recent is 2004 - 2006. The aggregated data is broken down by course characteristics
such as College, teaching style (e.g. lecturing or tutoring), and first
and later year.
Individual ANUSET users may use RIGs to get an indication
of how students' responses to their teaching and courses compare to students'
responses to comparable teaching. |
| Web-based surveys |
CEDAM is using a web-based survey system as a complement
to paper forms. For information on how to use any of these systems please
contact CEDAM. The online systems include versions of the standardised
ANUSET forms and forms with a more developmental focus, with automated
reporting functions.
CEDAM is using the DOI constructed Apollo online survey
system to provide partially customised web-based survey forms for academic
areas and a limited number of one-off surveys per semester. Apollo can
handle a large variety of fixed-choice and open-ended (comment) question
formats and support a range of authentication options. Students can access these questionnaires
online and lecturers can receive a simple statistical report on student
responses online. Areas wanting assistance to set up such systems for
teaching evaluation should contact CEDAM. |
| Discussion-based Student Feedback |
CEDAM provides facilitators to run small group
discussion of a focus group nature which are of particular value in assessing particular
aspects of courses in a more qualitative way than standard surveys. The number of these
is limited each semester. |
ANUDEQ
(ANU's Doctoral Experience Questionnaire) |
Annual questionnaires designed to
give completing PhD students the chance to offer comprehensive summative
and formative feedback on their experience at the ANU. These surveys are
online and run through the year with periodic reporting. |
| Advice on Documenting Teaching for Promotion |
CEDAM provides advice on documenting teaching for promotion/tenure and teaching awards. |
| Resources |
CEDAM has published two resource booklets: "Gathering
Students' Views of Teaching and Learning" and "Peer Review and Self Evaluation". These
booklets outline a wide variety of non-questionnaire-based evaluation methods and strategies.
These booklets are used as basic resources CEDAM's evaluation workshops and seminars. |
