I think if the questions were much more specific, the students might
have been able to give more objective input. The questions I
use when I
have my (high school) students evaluate me are to rate me from 1 to 5
where:
1 = not acceptable
2 = below average
3 = about average
4 = above average
5 = outstanding
in the following areas:
presentation/teaching of material
learning objectives are clear
I am able to achieve the learning objectives
explanations are clear
subject is well organized
enough homework to be well-prepared for tests
I am able to do the homework
homework is relevant to each topic
amount of material covered on each test
my test grades are consistent with what I expect
tests are based on the classwork
grading criteria are clear & fair
homework & tests graded in a timely fashion
pace of course
classroom management
teacher's availability
teacher's approachability
teacher's flexibility
teacher's fairness
teacher's enthusiasm
teacher contributes to my learning
teacher cares about how well I'm doing
I find that the aggregated responses I get from these
questions seem to
match pretty well with administrators' evaluations of my teaching, as
well as my own perceptions of my strengths and weaknesses.
