Evaluation of Teaching

In keeping with the University's strategic plans, CATL aims to develop and promote teaching evaluation strategies in order to provide high quality teaching and learning opportunities at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels, courses that are responsive to 'consumer' needs and demands, and performance indicators for teaching and learning.

CATL staff assist staff in seeking and using feedback on teaching from students and peers, and in catering to individual needs of research students. Guidance in preparing academic portfolios for self-reflection and for application for academic promotion or tenure is available. Staff provide consultation on a range of teaching evaluation issues, and can assist with the use of the following instruments:

• Student Perceptions of Teaching (SPOT)
• Students' Unit Reflective Feedback (SURF)
• Student Perceptions of Research Supervision (SPORS)
• Peer Review of Teaching

Further information is available at:
