Course Evaluations
Summary of course Evaluations at University of Guelph (2010 to 2023)
The following table summarizes the course evaluations for the six courses that I taught for a total of 14 times between 2010 and 2014 at University of Guelph, School of Engineering (click here for details).
Course evaluation questionnaires were changing over time in the University of Guelph. These questionnaires can be categorized into three groups:
Group No. #1 – Course evaluation in F20, F21 and afterwards.
Group No. #2 – Course evaluation in W21.
Group No. #3 – Course evaluations in W20 and before.
The following three tables provide the summaries of the course evaluations.
