A Method of Evaluating Teaching Current Methods of Teaching Evaluation

Abstract

Learning from the Stanford Professors Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with some of the best scholars and teachers through the annual Stanford-NUS Executive Program. In the beginning, I wondered how Stanford professors could easily score at least 6 out of a 7-point scale from a highly critical audience of top-notch executives. In contrast, NUS instructors were ranked far less favourably. I could not accept these results lightly. Together with some of my colleagues, we closely studied these great “gurus”. We have since caught up, and several of us now rank as well as the best Stanford teachers. So I would now like to share with you these acquired insights on how to be an effective teacher.
