Abstract
Summary. This study describes research leading to the development and implementation of SEEQ (Students' Evaluations of Educational Quality). SEEQ is an instrument and programme for collecting students' evaluations of college/university teaching. The paper indicates that SEEQ measures nine distinct components of teaching effectiveness that have been identified in both student ratings and faculty self evaluations of their own teaching. Reliability is good when based upon 10 to 15 or more student response; The ratings have successfully been validated against the retrospective ratings of former students, student learning as measured by objective examination, affective course consequences, and staff self evaluations of their own teaching effectiveness. Suspected sources of bias to the ratings have been shown to have little impact. Feedback from student ratings, particularly when coupled with a candid discussion with an external consultant, produced improvement in both subsequent ratings and student learning.Keywords
