" Fifteen years ago, Omega University implemented a new procedure that encouraged students to evaluate the teaching effectiveness of all their professors.
Write a response in which you discuss what specific evidence is needed to evaluate the argument and explain how the evidence would weaken or strengthen the argument."


Omega university has been ranked amongst top ten universities when it comes to teaching effectiveness of professors. Well the university implemented a new procedure where students need to evaluate the teaching of the professors jut like teachers evaluate them on their performance. It worked !!

When the procedure was newly implemented teachers were against it and they do not wanted to be evaluated by their students. Once the results of first ever evaluation was out, it was surprisingly unexpected to the dean of the Omega University. Almost 70% of the students highlighted two common points - lack of practical examples and punctuality by teachers
Dean of Omega University was very serious with the results and straight away prepared a reform plan.

Practical examples are a key part of studies as it help students to relate what they are studying with real life world and to imagine in order to understand the concept rather than mugging up. Professors were asked to attend the guest lecture of various notable members of organisation were they helped professors to generate practical examples, initially it was a burden for teachers but later on they also started enjoying it as the exercise was helping them too.

Further more the Dean was himself a retired defence personnel and understood the value of punctuality and decided to make his professors also understand the same. A mobile application was prepared to track down the live location along with the login hours once a teacher enter a class. A notice was circulated amongst the teachers which stated that at the end of every month there will be a top performer who will be rewarded on the basis of the stats on the application.

Here we are 15 years after the evaluation procedure was developed and Omega University is among the top universities in the country. Teaching effectives is by far better than many other universities in the country.
