students to evaluate teachers

[kirandeep]

Teachers in Panjab University (PU) will soon get some lessons from students with a new teacher feedback system.

After much deliberation, the senate, the university's highest decision-making body, has approved the mechanism, which will judge teachers on various parameters, including communication ability, response to queries, informal behaviour and punctuality.

Drafted to act as a self-improvement tool for faculty of one of the oldest institutions of the country, the exercise will be made compulsory for all departments, while over 185 affiliated colleges can willingly opt for it.

as per my view, this will be a good system. it should be implemented in such a way that the ratings from students and their privacy is under strict control.

i guess there is a lot that needs to be done to overhaul our education system. things aren't going well.

we have college passouts, who are not worthy of getting jobs. and the fault is with the teaching system which is too old and the teachers, who aren't that well qualified. the syllabus is ancient in most of the colleges, including professional colleges.
