Comparison
Rating the person or rating the teaching
Course evaluation items that invite a personality judgement, next to items about observable teaching
A side-by-side set of example course evaluation questions. The left column shows items that mostly capture how students feel about the lecturer as a person, which research links to perceived personality. The right column shows items about teaching behaviour students can observe, such as clarity, organisation and timely feedback. Quality and educational development teams can use it when revising a module questionnaire. Koji pairs items like these with a follow-up question asking students for the reason behind each rating.
