Student Surveys of Teaching

What will be surveyed?

Any member of teaching staff may request a survey of their teaching, provided there are more than ten students in the class.
Deans may also request a teaching survey for a member of their staff.

Questions on the teaching questionnaire refer to one teacher only.
A minimum of 5 hours of class contact is required before students can be expected to comment on an individual's teaching.
It needs to be made clear to students who the survey is on.
Students should not be expected to complete more than 2 teaching surveys in any unit in one semester. For example, a survey might be undertaken on two lecturers or on one lecturer and the tutors.

Teaching surveys should be undertaken in the middle teaching block of the semester, generally weeks 7 to 11 (new 2008 calendar week numbering)
Results will generally be provided to teachers the by the end of the week following administration, allowing them to respond to student suggestions and concerns.
Research has shown that students are happy to provide feedback on units and teaching provided they have some evidence that the results are used.

Choose the best time for running the survey and, ideally, respond to the mailbombs that the TLC sends several times earlier in semester.
Your questionnaires will be delivered to you to hand out in class.
Full instructions on how to administer the questionnaires will be provided.
A student should be nominated to collect the questionnaires, sign the instruction/signature sheet, and ensure that they are returned to the TLC for processing
