A. GUIDELINES FOR INTERPRETING THE REPORT
The teacher evaluation report is for developmental purposes and is meant to help identify strengths and areas for
improvement. Please consider the following recommendations that will aid in interpreting the results:
1. Examine the report by taking note of patterns in order to consider how best to act on the feedback your students
have taken the time to provide. Use the reflection section at the end to reflect upon how you might act on the
feedback.
2. These evaluations stem from student perception and thus constitute one source of evidence among others as to
the quality of your teaching. Any response to the feedback should be based on the most representative results
rather than on outlying responses.
3. Upon getting a general sense as to what has gone well, and which areas may require attention and
improvement, it is important to drill down to the related questions. These questions can help guide future action
if feedback from students suggest areas for improvement.
4. Keep both the likert scale and written comments in mind while reading through the report. High scores (4+)
suggest student consensus indicating a strength. On the other hand, low scores (2-) should be considered as
an area that requires immediate developmental focus based on student feedback.

9. E. AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
What improvements would you suggest to Zhao Yunkun?
Comments
to set the tutorials to be a little more challenging so that it stimulates learning for us
Stop tanking so many things silently, I feel that it's unjust for you to shoulder so many responsibilities.
It's as if you can be the module's lecturer instead.
pace of lessons could be lower
Speak more clearly and be more confident

Find a better prof to reduce his workload.
A lot of the content taught in tutorials are not were not covered in the lectures. The content does not sync. The content taught in the
tutorials are generally quite difficult to understand and the only resource that we have to refer to are the tutorial slides. We cannot
even refer to the lecture slides as the things taught in the two sessions are different. Anyway, the tutorial assignments are very
doable. They usually only require us to replicate the demo code, thus not encouraging any real and effective learning.

F. SELF-REFLECTION
1. When comparing these results to the previous year's results, what areas have shown improvement?
2. What areas remain to be improved and what are the necessary steps / actions to do so?
3. Are there colleagues who could potentially guide me?
4. Are there issues that require departmental or institutional support?
