Receiving feedback from students has become the most common source in higher education in evaluation of teaching. There appears to be a widespread consensus that students’ evaluations of teaching have raised awareness of teachers about their critical role of effective teaching. The involvement of students in assessing teacher or course effectiveness inspires teachers to tailor their teaching to meet students’ preferences. On the average, there is little controversy over the use of student feedback as a data source for instructional improvement. The study aims to reveal the impact of students’ evaluations on improving the quality of teaching at a university.
