Request a questionnaire with Otago inFORM and read about how to administer a questionnaire.
Teachers charged with a co‑ordinating role play a substantial part in the quality of teaching delivered at the University, however their contribution is often behind the scenes, and thus not amenable to evaluation by students. In such cases, members of the teaching team (e.g. tutors/demonstrators) are positioned to give feedback on the performance of the co‑ordinator who leads them.
The questionnaire consists of between five and ten questions chosen from a bank of 20 questions within Otago inFORM on various aspects of co‑ordination. The results may be submitted as evidence of your teaching with the Otago Teaching Profile.
Confidentiality policy for co‑ordinator/team leader evaluations
Each time a set of team co‑ordinator questions is processed, an annualised summary report is sent to the teacher named in the evaluation. A copy of this report is also sent to the relevant dean/head of department. In rare exceptions of potential impropriety, we may seek advice that includes releasing results to the Director of QAU and relevant PVCs/DVCs. Feedback is also aggregated (e.g. at departmental and divisional levels) and shared with the wider university to identify and respond to common threads in opinions.
If you are a candidate for promotion, confirmation or appraisal, you may be expected to submit the summary report of results with your application/ report. CEDI staff are available to assist you with the interpretation of your results or to design a plan for improvement.
