END OF COURSE EVALUATION (2015 Assignment #30)
Student name………………………………………………………………………..
The Academy reviews and revises its courses every year in light of newly emerging requirements plus the previous year’s experience of teaching its courses and assessing the students’ work. Another important input into this process is the experience of students themselves. This is why we invite you to make constructive comments about your learning experience. By the term “constructive comments” we mean bringing to our attention anything that you think we need to review and that we can, in fact, do something about. The Academy operates only through its fees and donations.
Below is a fairly detailed questionnaire to fill in and send back to us. This is the type of information that we need to have to help us with our course review. Please send it back within a week after Week 9 of your course.
Please give pertinent examples. We need to be clear as to exactly what needs reviewing and whether a problem is systemic or due to particular individuals or was a one-off event.
