Evaluation of Teaching as flavoursome experience!

Come and join us for a debriefing on myExperience student feedback from T2.

This is an opportunity for you to reflect and share your strategies for unpacking and addressing feedback in a supportive environment.

HighTEAch this term will be run online - please bring your e-cuppa. Sweet treats will be back in Term 3!

This online event is for academics to come together at the end of term to share a virtual cup of tea and engage in collective discussions about the term in a relaxed and informal setting. Everyone is welcome. This session will be relevant for experienced academics through to new staff who are seeing myExperience surveys for the first time.

We want to create a collegial environment where educators can decompress and have impromptu-style ‘corridor’ conversations about the triumphs, challenges, and insights of the term. The session will explore how to balance the flavours of student feedback and taking action to improve your course when it's next served.

Read more about the varieties of teaching evaluation in Dr Daniela Castro de Jong, Jacque North and Dr Anna Rowe's blog, which likens the process of evaluating teaching to the Swedish tradition of serving seven types of biscuits with tea, emphasising the importance of balance and variety.

27 May: High TEAch Term 1 2025

Tuesday 27 May, 10:30 - 11:30am

In-person at the Teaching Commons

This event is for academics to come together in person at the end of the term to share a cup of tea and engage in collective discussions about the term in a relaxed and informal setting. Everyone is welcome (if you fancy a bit of TLC, coffee/tea and treats after a long, hard term, or if you want to support your colleagues). We also think it would particularly be helpful to new staff who are seeing myExperience surveys for the first time. We want to create a collegial environment where educators can decompress and have impromptu ‘corridor’ conversations about the triumphs, challenges, and insights of the term. The session will explore how to balance the flavours of student feedback and taking action to improve your course when it's next served.
