Procedures for Ordering and Administering Questionnaires

Student ratings are initiated at the request of staff members teaching particular classes. Survey reports are provided only to the teacher making the request, and whose name appears on the report. CATL does not initiate evaluations, or provide reports to third parties. It is recommended that the unit coordinator adopts an evaluation plan so that you can fit your evaluation in with those of your colleagues. In a group teaching situation each member can be evaluated on the same or separate questionnaire.

Please follow the procedures outlined to ensure that all questionnaires are administered under similar conditions so that both staff and students can have faith in the procedures.

If you are the only academic being evaluated on the questionnaire you may place your order by filling in the questionnaire order form (located on SPOT Home Page). You will need to complete a form for each block or 'Type of Teaching'; i.e. if you wish to have a set of questions for your teaching and a set of questions for the unit on the questionnaire, you will need to complete one form for "About the teaching of Dr Smith in English" and another form for "About the unit English".

Your master questionnaire will be sent to you in an envelope designed to be used for returning the completed surveys. Photocopy enough for each student in the class. You may consider completing a questionnaire yourself and keep it so you might later compare your perception of your teaching with that of your students.

Instructions for organising the survey administration are enclosed with the master questionnaire and on the back of the envelope it comes in. Briefly:

  • You should have a teaching colleague, other staff member, or a student administer the survey on your behalf. This is to ensure the integrity of the evaluation procedure.
  • Give the photocopies of the questionnaire and the envelope supplied to your nominated administrator to distribute and collect. This should take place during class time and should take a minimum of 10 minutes to complete. You should leave the room while the evaluation is carried out.
  • Your administrator completes the details on the envelope before sending to SPOT Services, CATL at M401.
