The University is committed to excellence in student-centred learning. To achieve this, Griffith has established policies and processes to effectively manage its learning and teaching activities and contribute towards excellent student learning outcomes. The focus of evaluation is on:
- the quality of programs and courses and teaching, and
- those factors in the University context that affect the quality of teaching and learning, such as University facilities, educational resources, campus climates, student interaction with University administration.
The key policies relating to the evaluation of teaching and learning are:
Groups boards provide advice to the University on student evaluation of teaching and student evaluation of courses. It is likely that, with some changes to its constitution, that Programs Committee will soon assume responsibility for reviewing programs within its scope, and overseeing the evaluation policies relating to teaching and courses.
The University implemented a new Evaluations@Griffith system for all courses delivered from 2010. This system supports the evaluations process for courses and teaching. You can find further information regarding the new system, including training and resources on the Course Evaluations website. To view or edit surveys, log in to the system, via the portal at www.griffith.edu.au/evaluations.
The Office of Planning and Financial Services manages the administration of the Evaluations@Griffith system and the support of its users. Finance and Business Services also collects and analyses data to inform decision making for strategic, operational and other planning activities.
The Griffith Institute for Higher Education website provides information on using and interpreting evaluation data.
