| This page contains links to summaries
of the student evaluation of courses, lecturing (using a 'large
group teaching' form) and tutoring/demonstrating ('small group teaching'
form). Tables are divided according to the form type used: course
(C), lecturing (A), and tutoring (B). The data within the tables are aggregated by College, level (first/later year or honours/postgraduate) and class size.
The forms used to collect the data were last revised
in semester 2, 2003. New questions were added to the course evaluation
form and some were deleted from all the forms. To keep the data
up to date, only data from the last three years has been included
the 'current' dataset.

More detail on the data
Surveys with less than 5 respondents were excluded from these tables.
In addition, to increase the reliability of the figures, more than
4 surveys were necessary in any single category for the figures
to be presented. Note that the means are aggregated by courses rather
than by students. An implication of this is that courses with small
enrolments and those with large enrolments contribute equally to
the calculations. In addition, the data was screened using a variety
of processes to increase its reliability and validity; for example,
duplicate surveys were searched for and eliminated.
More detail on the forms
The major research streams that the ANUSET system is based on are
the SEEQ (Marsh & Dunkin, 1992) and CEQ (Ramsden, 1991). These
both have extensive theoretical and empirical underpinnings spanning
at least two decades. In addition to the research literature and
interest group input, the form development process has included
the following: the forms were redesigned in light of student comments,
response patterns were analysed to detect redundant items, there
was input from professional form designers, teaching staff gave
feedback on draft forms, and the forms were piloted on groups of
ANU students.
