Postgraduate
Supervision Evaluations
Please note that post-graduate supervision
evaluations can be administered using the Postgraduate Supervision Questionnaire. Lecturers are
required to e-mail the evaluation questionnaire to the students and copy StudentFeedbackAdmin@ukzn.ac.za.
The guidelines for conducting post-graduate
supervision evaluations are listed below:
· Only
one email should be sent to all the students, irrespective of the level of
supervision.
· The
questionnaire should be sent to current students only and not to those who have
graduated.
· A
student should have received supervision for at least six months before he/she
can fill in a questionnaire for the lecturer.
· There
should be at least six months between evaluations.
· Completed
questionnaires should be emailed to StudentFeedbackAdmin@ukzn.ac.za, or to an
administrator who is identified by the lecturer.
Staff who require student feedback reports for performance
management, promotion, and distinguished teacher award applications, or
professional body accreditation/validation visits should conduct these
evaluations timeously and, where applicable, forward them to QPA to generate
the reports. Reports for post-graduate supervision
evaluations are generated manually by QPA.
UKZN is committed to
excellence in teaching and learning. The
student evaluation system is one of the key institutional quality processes
aimed at providing feedback to the lecturers and their line managers and
assessing teaching quality to enable improved teaching and learning and the
likelihood of student success.
Peer evaluation
Peer evaluation is an essential component in the evaluation
of teaching quality assessment for continuous improvement. Peer evaluation is
primarily formative, (for developmental purposes) summative,
and can also be used for developing portfolios for promotion purposes or
participating in institutional or national initiatives that recognise
excellence.
The peer evaluations complement information gathered from
student evaluations of teaching. Together, they provide a more complete
picture. Peer perspectives on one’s
teaching are important evidence that could be used to collaborate with other
forms of evaluation of teaching and testimonies from peers and supervisors on
one’s capabilities in teaching and other spheres that are deemed essential for
promotion purposes.
Please note that the QPA office does not generate peer
evaluation reports for lecturers.
Refer to the Principles and guidelines for peer
evaluation of teaching quality for further information.
