Teaching Evaluation Questionnaires
The Evaluation Questionnaire was developed to help assess the quality of teaching at the University of Cyprus. It has recently been revised by an ad hoc group, appointed by the Senate Committee on Studies and Student affairs, and by the KE.DI.MA. Board.
In drawing up the questionnaire, we examined a wide spectrum of questionnaires used at other universities (some samples can be found here ). We also took into account reliability studies that were undertaken both internationally (relative material can be found here ), and at localy the University of Cyprus (see Questionnaire Study at the University of Cyprus [in Greek] Appendices: Α, Β).
The Questionnaire is distributed to all classes in the last two weeks of every semester. Since the Fall Semester 2005-2006 distribution has been compulsory for all intsructors (
Senate's decision - 243th meeting [in Greek]).The following are exempted:
- Courses with fewer than five registered students (decision of the Rector's Council, meeting 5/2006 [in Greek]),
- Tutorials (0 credit hours) (decision of the Centre's Board, 19th Meeting, 8th June 2007),
- Courses which do not require class teaching - research stage, exams, thesis etc, and
- Seminars (decision of the Centre's Board, 22nd Meeting, 9th June 2009).
According to a decision by the Rector's Council (
Meeting 29/2007 [in Greek]), academic staff are responsbile for each of their assigned courses and should therefore have access to the evaluation analyses for courses taught under their supervision by special teaching staff and postgraduate students. The academic staff can request a copy of the analyses from the Chairperson of their Department.
The Questionnaire is an important assessment tool. All suggestions from the teaching instructors and the students are welcome.
