Student Evaluation of Teaching , Units and Learning
Wednesday August 27, 2008. How can we improve the SET and SEU?
One of the responsibilities in my new role at UB is to assume resposibility for our Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) and Student Evaluation of Units (SEU) processes. Currently for most people @ UB this process involves a paper-based summative assessment occuring late in the Semester.
Recently there has been suggestions about a mid-semester assessment activity. This would be for me formative in nature representing assement as learning (click here to learn more about this ) involving learners setting learning goals and staff recieving feedback on the success/otherwise of their learning intentions through self and peer assessment.
If you were or are working @ a university what information do you think learners and staff would need to collect and how could this information be used to improve learning?
I look forward to reading your comments

I am sitting here in Antalya (Turkey) at a the 13th World Conference in Education. The conference theme is ’ Global peace: Strategies for curriculum development and implmentation’. As the Chariperson of the Gloabal Education special interest group’ I was introduced to the idea of replacing the term global education with the education with a global perspective. Given our focus this month I would like to hear your thoughts on how the current evaluation practices at your isntitution reflect a global perspective? You may also wish to comment on any suggestoins you would have for implementing an intiative in tis area for example what question would you inlcude on a SET or SEU to recognise the global aspect of learning or learners in your class?
