ABSTRACT

Evaluation has become part of the professional activity of most university teachers. Most universities have established processes that allow teaching staff to engage routinely in some sorts of evaluation of their own teaching or of the subjects that they teach. Ramsden and Dodds's Improving Teaching and Courses: A Guide to Evaluation is an excellent, succinct handbook of advice and suggestions for teachers wanting to evaluate their subject or teaching, while Armstrong and Conrad's Subject Evaluation is a longer but highly practical outline of approaches to evaluation and includes a range of computer-based evaluation tools. Details of both publications can be found in References at the end of this book.
