STUDENTS COURSE EVALUATION REPORT
ACADEMIC YEAR
1. OVERVIEW
In its pursuit for academic quality and excellence, the Directorate of Quality Assurance (DQA) of the University of Dodoma (UDOM) developed a Students Course Evaluation Form (SCEF). The tool (SCEF) is used to evaluate courses that are offered in every semester. This tool is meant to evaluate the way the courses are offered. It further assists in strategizing the best mechanisms for improving delivery of courses. College of Informatics and Virtual education is one of the colleges that constitute the University of Dodoma and considers the course evaluation exercise as of paramount importance.
2. METHODOLOGY AND ANALYSIS
The College administered evaluation of courses by students during end of semester University Examinations. The SCEFs were distributed to students and thereafter collected for analysis.
Evaluation forms were distributed to students to evaluate the way different courses were delivered. The following is an analysis of the SCEFs that were distributed and collected during the academic year.
The SCEF has two main parts. Part one consists of five two-part questions. The questions are meant to evaluate the course instructor’s performance in five key areas, which are, preparation of the subject, preparation of the subject matter, attendance and punctuality. The five aspects which were rated by students as far as the delivery of the courses was concerned included:
(i) Preparation of the subject: It was rated on how well the tutor systemized and organized the lessons and the usefulness of the handouts and references given to students.
(ii) Preparation of the subject matter: In which the competence of the instructor on the subject and the use of different teaching methods to make the subject interesting and rewarding were rated.
(iii) Attendance and punctuality in class: The attendance and punctuality of the instructor to all lectures/ seminars.
(iv) Availability for consultation: The extent to which the instructor was available for consultation outside class hours and the usefulness of the consultation time were rated by students
(v) Coverage of the syllabus: The extent of coverage of the syllabus within the specified time and the extent of giving assignments and tests, marking and providing feedback promptly to students were rated.
In Part II, Students were finally asked to give further general comments on each course for the purpose of improving course delivery.
The grades of the average score obtained after being rated by students were categorized into five groups which are represented as follows:
A=EXCELLENT, B=VERY GOOD, C= GOOD, D= AVERAGE and E= POOR
These grades were then weighted into their corresponding values as:
A=5, B=4, C=3, D=2 and E=1.
The average of all the ratings made by students was found. The values of the obtained averages were categorized as follows:
(i). 4.1 - 5.0: EXCELLENT
(ii). 3.1 - 4.0: VERY GOOD
(iii). 2.1 - 3.0: GOOD
(iv). 1.1 - 2.0: AVERAGE
(v). 0.0 - 1.0: POOR
3.0 FINDINGS
3.1 GENERAL PERFORMANCE
The general performance based on the five aspects rated by students is as shown in Figure 1. A total of fifty five
courses were evaluated. The results show that overall, % of courses were rated as EXCELLENT while % were rated as VERY GOOD and only % of were rated as GOOD.
OVERALL STAFF PERFORMANCE

3.2 SPECIFIC ASPECTS EVALUATED
3.2.1 Preparation of the subject
Preparation of subject materials was rated based on two key issues.
(i) Systematic preparation and organization of the course.
(ii)Usefulness of the handouts and references provided to students.
The average of the scores obtained from the two key issues was calculated and categorized as shown in Figure 2.
Preparation of the subject
?>)
Figure 2: Preparation of the subject
From Figure 2, students reported that % of all courses were EXCELLENTLY prepared in a systematic organised manner with handouts and references given to them being relevant and useful. The preparation of % of all the courses was rated as VERY GOOD in the sense that the materials were organised well and the handouts and references were useful to them. Preparation of % of the courses was rated as GOOD.
3.2.2 Preparation of the subject matter
This aspect intended to know the competence of the instructor in the course being delivered and the use of a variety of teaching methods to make the course both interesting and rewarding. The results are shown in Figure 3.
Preparation of the subject matter
?>)
Figure 3: Preparation of the subject matter
As far as the preparation of the courses is concerned, % of the instructors were rated as having the highest competence level (EXCELLENT) in the courses they taught including applying different teaching methods and styles while % were rated VERY GOOD and % were rated as GOOD.
3.2.3 Attendance and punctuality in class
In this aspect, attendance and punctuality of the instructors during class hours were rated. This is depicted in Figure 4.
Attendance and punctuality of instructors in class
?>)
Figure 4: Attendance and punctuality of instructors in class
From Figure 4, it can be concluded that many instructors attended their classes always and they observed punctuality. % of the instructors were rated as EXCELLENT meaning that they always attended their class sessions on time while the attendance and punctuality of % of the instructors were rated as VERY GOOD and % were rated as GOOD.
3.2.4 Availability for consultation
In this aspect, accessibility of the instructor after class hours and usefulness of the consultations provided to students were rated. Figure 5 shows the results of the rating made by students.
Instructors’ availability for consultation
?>)
Figure 5: Instructors’ availability for consultation
From Figure 5, the consultation time and the usefulness of the consultations provided were EXCELLENT for % of the instructors while the availability for consultations of % of the instructors were VERY GOOD. Only % of the instructors had a GOOD rate on the availability for consultations and usefulness of the consultations provided.
3.2.5 Coverage of the syllabus
This aspect looked into the coverage of the syllabus within specified time and provision of prompt feedback after marking assignments/test. The results of the ratings made by students are shown in Figure 6.
Coverage of the syllabus
?>)
Figure 6: Coverage of the syllabus
The results in Figure 6 show that the completion of the syllabus within specified time and prompt feedback after marking assignments/test by % of the instructors were EXCELLENT while % of the instructors showed a VERY GOOD level of completing the syllabus in time and providing the feedback immediately after marking tests and assignments. Only % of the instructors were GOOD in completing the syllabus in time and providing feedback after marking tests and assignments.
3.3 FURTHER COMMENTS
Part II of the SCEF was provided to students to write their comments necessary for improving the delivery of the course. Different comments were given all aiming at improving the way courses are being offered and delivered. Figure 7 shows a pie-chart depicting different comments made by students.
Further comments made by students
?>)
Figure 7: Further comments made by students
The chart (Figure 7) reveals that a good number of students appreciated that the instructors in most of the courses were good which is made by 26% of the total comments. 23% of the total comments had concerns about increasing lab sessions, lab equipment and providing lab sessions to courses that need to be coupled with practical sessions. 22% of the comments made by students emphasized on the increase in tests, tutorials sessions and setting up a better modality of assessing some courses. From the results, 16% of the comments insisted on improving teaching for a better performance. It was however noted that, 1% of the comments asked for a preparation week before the University Examinations begin. This will increase performance because students will get enough time to prepare themselves.
4.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
From the findings obtained from the evaluation forms, it can be concluded that students are satisfied to a large extent, with the teaching and delivery mode of the courses by the instructors.
From the results and comments given in this report, it is recommended that:
(i) Instructors should make effective use of the available laboratories
(ii) More tutorial sessions be organized for courses involving a large number of students so that the classes are smaller in size and manageable.
(iii) Since it was commented that some courses have large contents that are too much to be completed within the teaching time, a regular review of course contents be done so that the content can be updated to fit specified semester duration.
(iv) Instructors should be given feedback of the evaluations made on their courses so that they can make improvements as soon as the semester begins.
