Abstract
University and college courses are frequently evaluated in order to help lecturers improve the course in subsequent years, but there are also other reasons why courses might be evaluated. After listing these the article describes the system of course evaluations which have been developed in the Australian National University. Suggested sources of data are given, from which lecturers may make informed judgements about changes needed in their courses or teaching. The article also gives examples of questions used for gathering these data.Keywords
