Topic 25 On Students Evaluation of Teachers 學生對老師的評價

　　Recently there have been many reports of a brand new system among universities, in which students take part in evaluating their teachers. It turns a new page of advanced education in China, and will have far-reaching effects in the forthcoming years.

　　The biggest benefit, in my eyes, is that teachers should do their best to improve not only their specialized knowledge and skills but also their teaching methods in order to meet the needs of their students. In addition, teachers will pay more attention to self-images as to win respect from students. Finally, the teacher-student relationship will be closer and more harmonious.

　　Apart from the benefits mentioned above, we also face several unavoidable challenges. In the first place, the students evaluation of teachers cannot always be objective it should be combined with evaluation from authority and colleagues. In the second place, the most popular teacher may neither be the most knowledgeable nor the one with the most advanced teaching method. What s the most important; some teachers may become indulgent with their students because of this new system. Only when we deal with these problems successfully can we benefit the most from such a new system.
