For example the course is generally under the coordinator's name but that coordinator may be coordinator of (of an entire faculty) two departments offering the same course, and may or may not be teaching a group on the course. Along with that there may be several lecturers and or tutors of that course. Lets say there is one or more lecturer whom the students view negatively, not necessarily the coordinator. That lecturer's name is attached to the questionnaire. How will the evaluating team know who the students are truly evaluating.
Hi,
What I have understood from your query is that a course have more than one lecturer responsible and students are to evaluate the teacher as well as the course at the end of the course (post-course survey). And, how should it be made clear as to which lecturer is being evaluated.
There is a simple solution to this problem. If there are more than lecturers, each lecturer should be having separate sections with the parameters evaluating them. For example, if you have identified 5 parameters on which students can evaluate a lecturer, and you have 3 lecturers, There will be three sections containing the 5 parameters against each lecturer. You can either leave name of lecturer field vacant or pre-filled, as you like.
I don't know if this is relevant in this instance but a technique we have used is to put the person's photo onto the questionnaire or the relevant part of it - hard then for the student to get the wrong person
The questionnaire needs to make clear who is being evaluated. And the data set generated using the students' responses needs to be organized by lecturer.
If both the lecturer and the coordinator are to be evaluated by each student, then have separate questions referring to each one. If the coordinator is being judged only by the results for the lecturers s/he supervises, then leave the coordinator's name off the forms sent to the students - just have some kind of code number so the people compiling the data know which coordinator is responsible.
The survey allows students to choose via a drop-down choice, which of the lecturers/tutors they would like to assess.
