Feedback on Teaching
Faculty members can benefit from constructive feedback and reflection to improve their teaching. Two popular methods for collecting feedback on one's teaching are through students and academic peers.
CTE administers the university's undergraduate course feedback exercise using the FACETS instrument.
CTE also administers the Peer Coaching Programme, where faculty members can seek feedback on teaching from Peer Coaches. Schools administer summative peer review of teaching for the purpose of contract renewal, tenure and/or promotion.
