Teacher evaluation questions

Making Science Learning Great Again - Course Evaluation Survey 2018-19

Dear Students, Teaching and learning is a unique experience which needs continuous evaluation and improvisation. At UWC Changshu China, we value the needs for such assessment and improvisation to make your education worthy and enjoyable. This survey is a part of that process. I urge you to be sincere and constructive in responding to this survey to help us use it for your benefits. The survey will take 15 to 20 minutes of your time. All questions in this survey are compulsory. The survey is not anonymous, however, feel free to express yourself without any fear. To maintain conformity of participation, you can only access this through your UWC mail ID. I assure you that your identity will be protected at every cost. I thank you in advance for completing this survey and helping us make science learning great again! Best wishes, Head of Sciences
