Why GTA?

• Listening to the students voice

Why us? The GTA Committee

• A punishment of the Dean?
• Last years methodology imperfect
• Riots at ISS, two wounded in fights
• MACC reps, Peter Knorringa and Robert Ensor to
  the rescue
• GTA Committee to create BETTER (not perfect)
  methodology

Our (imperfect) methodology

• Online survey asking students to identify
• What they feel is good teaching
• Who are their best three teachers
• A ranking of these three
• The number of votes gives a ranking of good
  teaching, BUT
• Because the methodology is imperfect
• We will not give a ranking
• We will recognize the teachers with more than 10
  points in random order
• A report is presented to the Staff (
  supervision)
