The reputation of the college is known by the quality of education it provides. This makes it important for colleges to improve and maintain their high quality. Apart from providing a good syllabus or curriculum, the teaching quality of the faculty is also an important factor. While the quality of teaching can be judged by the marks received by the students to some extent, the best way to do it is by taking feedback from the students.
Most colleges take feedback about their faculty from the students, by using OMR forms. OMR based student feedback forms used for faculty feedback in college can be read by the OMR form reader software. This software selects the data received from each sheet and transfers it into an Excel sheet along with the name or roll no. of the student (whatever is asked for in the OMR sheet). You can take a look at the OMR based student feedback form sample on this page.
At the top of this form, there is space to print the name of the institute. Below it is a brief description of the feedback.
The parameters have to be marked with a cross sign, which should be done carefully, without marking the adjacent bubbles.
The students are instructed to provide an objective rating on the scale of 1-5. Here, 1 means excellent and 5 means needs improvement.
The names of the faculty members are provided in the first column and the parameters on which they have to be judged are provided in the adjacent rows.
Each faculty has to be provided marks as per the following parameters. These include method of teaching, subject knowledge, power of explanation, completion of syllabus, response to questions, use of examples/illustrations, accessibility outside class, behaviour with students and receptivity to new ideas/disagreements.
The students have to provide an overall rating for each faculty member at the end.
There are also college review parameters that have to be judged at the range of 1-5. These parameters include audio-visual teaching aid, field visits, extra-curricular activities, completion of syllabus, computer lab facility, placements, canteen, exposure, seminar and workshops, library/books, discipline, office support, etc.
There are also some extra spaces for you to add some other parameters specific to your college or educational institute.
Once this feedback form is reviewed, necessary steps can be taken to improve the teaching techniques and overall quality of education.
