Evaluation
Evaluation of Academic Staff
Like any other educational institute, we need to make sure that our lecturers are providing their students with a suitable, quality education. Only in this way will prospective employers regard our graduates as worthy of active consideration; and future prospective students consider us as their university of choice.
To achieve this, we evaluate potential lecturers through filtering of their resumés, followed by interviews.
Once a suitable person has been selected to teach a particular course, they are:
> given a copy of our 'Green Book', which provides details about our expectations of them during their time of teaching at UC; and
> required to sign a pledge, to further reinforce what is expected of them.
(It is unfortunate that we have to ask all our lecturers to go through this procedure, but a few irresponsible individuals in the past have made us realise that we have little choice in the matter.)
During their course, they are also evaluated in various ways:
> they are given a self-evaluation form, to encourage them to think about their teaching practices and not become complacent
