Question bank

Course evaluation questions on teaching priorities

Items that cover what students value, what faculty value, and what predicts learning

Question bank in three sections covering the outcomes students value, the challenge faculty value, and organisation and clarity.
Ask about challenge and independence as well as clarity, so a demanding course is judged on what it was trying to do.

A set of eight course evaluation statements, rated on a five point agreement scale, in three sections. The first covers what students got out of a course, the second covers intellectual challenge, standards and independent learning, which faculty tend to rank higher, and the third covers organisation and clarity. It follows the differences Feldman found between student and faculty priorities. Koji can run these as rated questions with a follow-up on each score.
