Assessing and Evaluating Teaching

Activity 14.1: Teaching Style Inventory

The Teaching Style Inventory is a self-reflection tool that encourages you to think through the tenets of your teaching style by asking you to consider whether you agree or disagree with statements about teaching.

Activity 14.2: Fortunately-Unfortunately

This activity encourages you to critically examine the reliance on student opinions of instruction as the predominant method for assessing teaching effectiveness. Through this exploration, you identify fortunate and unfortunate aspects of using traditional student evaluations and consider alternative assessment methods.

Activity 14.3: Do-It-Yourself Teaching Evaluation

This is an assessment of teaching that you create yourself and administer at some point during the academic term, often during the term so that there is time to make course corrections.
