Students’ Evaluation of Teaching : An Empirical Study

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine students' evaluation of teaching. To date not many studies are carried out to identify students evaluation and establish the overall quality of lectures and teaching skills of the instructor, the quality of the examinations and lecturer's perceived knowledge of the subject, the student's expected grade and the enrolment on the course. Linking research with teaching and student evaluation is attracting significant attention both to policy makers and academics. This study was used as a survey questionnaire and random sampling method to collect responses. Collected data were analysed by using descriptive statistics, correlation analysis to determine the relationship between variables through stepwise multiple regression analysis used to test the hypothesis. The study has revealed that student evaluations of teaching in higher education need to be treated with extreme caution.
