Summary
In order to assess the effectiveness & quality of teaching it is necessary to evaluate the learning experience of students receiving tuition. This short & practical handbook provides all those teaching in Higher Education & Further Education with an invaluable reference on how to develop & use a toolkit that is capable of exploring & assessing all the relevant aspects of their students' learning, in order to allow the tutor to develop their teaching. Avoiding a theoretical account of the subject, the authors present a readily usable guide to assessing the reader's own teaching quality that will tie in with the needs of their institution quality guidelines, as well as likely wider developments, such as teaching quality assessment & continuing professional development guidelines from the ILT.
