-
- Dear colleagues,
-
- As an integral part of our university teaching training, we are
- conducting a survey of the ways by which students are evaluated at various
- educational centers around the world.
- The results of this survey will be presented in June 1993 at the university
- of Grenoble.
-
- 1- The goal of this survey
-
- The goal of this survey is to examine the various methods of evaluation
- used in different countries. This survey does not focus on a particular
- domain but it is nevertheless more concerned with courses taken place during
- the first or second year of university study. (One course per questionnaire.)
-
- This survey can be completed by either teachers or students.
-
- 2- The content of this survey
-
- The questionnaire is comprised of four main sections. The first three
- sections involve a set of questions with predefined answers, i.e. the
- different types of answers have the format:
- choice [ ]: to be marked by 'X' for a positive answer
- ( ) : to be filled by the answer (optional answer).
-
- The first section is concerned with the level of the chosen course.
-
- The second section is concerned with the chosen course itself.
-
- The third section is concerned with the marking system of the chosen
- course.
-
- The last section is an open one, in which you may wish to make further
- comments.
-
