In 2007, Senate made a decision that evaluation of teaching by students should be carried out each semester for all University courses
![Page 5: MACHINE FOR FACILITATION OF EVALUATION OF TEACHING BY STUDENTS](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022082518/5697bf741a28abf838c7ff38/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
The Office of the DVCAA embarked on the exercise in May 2007, but realised that it is an enormous task.
The work requires to engage a big team to enter the data, proof reading and analysis.
Faculty of Social Sciences alone would generate 6,000 completed forms. ( 400 students each year of study x a minimum of 5 courses each x 3 yrs of study)

We have been struggling to implement the Senate decision with limited resources and we have experienced a lot of challenges.
The Office of the DVCAA submitted a proposal for support of quality assurance activities at Makerere University to EDULINK

The Project Objective: The proposal was approved and we are
partnering with other Universities in East Africa, AAU, IUCEA and University of Alicante to implement the objectives of the project.
The main objective of the project is to build a sustainable quality culture within the University.

Lactro Dara Machine
One of the benefits of the project is the acquisition of the Lactro Dara Machine.

Uniqueness of the Lactro Dara Machine
The machine can read 100 forms (A4 size )in 5 minutes and it is error free, so there is no need for proof reading.
The uploaded data from the forms is then exported to another format i.e. EXCEL, SPSS, for analysis.
Other functions which the University can take advantage of include;

Functions Cont’d..
Marking of objective examination questions.
Processing of applications for admission to the University
Compiling and analysis of population data
It can also be used to read the National election data.

The Dara Machine will be used to read information provided by students from the evaluation forms
Benefit: Timely feedback to stakeholders
Timely action on findings

Pilot the new tool
The Evaluation tool has been revised to adopt recommendations from previous evaluation reports and also to correspond to the design of the machine.
The new form is being piloted in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and the data from the evaluation will be compiled and analyzed by the Dara Machine.

We hope to provide feed back to students and staff next semester.
The office of the DVCAA will work with the Faculty to make improvement on the basis of the evaluation exercise.

Other Mechnisms
The University is trying other methods of evaluation
On-line evaluation of teaching by students is being piloted in FCIT.
