What is the point of the Students' Evaluation of Teaching
Why does a teacher ask you to evaluate their teaching?
- To improve the course
- To adapt the course to suit your expectations, when it’s possible
- To have a better understanding of your needs
- To find some solutions with your help
What’s the point for me to fill in questionnaires or to take part in a focus group?
The evaluation is before anything else, a way to communicate with your teacher, to give them your opinion about their teaching and maybe help them improve it, with full transparency since anonymity is the fundamentals of the process. It is true that this is usually the next students that will benefit from the potential modifications made by the teacher. However, you will benefit from the changes caused by the comments from your predecessors. You are then part of the teaching continual improvement at UNIL.
