Course Evaluation: Mid Semester 2023/2024

Faculty of Education UIII's course evaluations serve as valuable feedback mechanisms from  students to express their opinions on the quality of teaching, course content, and overall learning experience they had in a semester. The students got the opportunity twice in a semester to give their assessment about the course, in the middle of semester as well as in the end of semester.  These evaluations typically consist of structured questions (close ended with rating scale) and also open-ended comments, allowing students to rate aspects such as instructor effectiveness, course organization, clarity of materials, and relevance to learning objectives. They provide instructors with insights into their teaching methods and areas for improvement, in the four dimension which are: Course Materials and Structure, Course Delivery, Learning Assessment, Lecturer's Connection and Encouragement, Student Engagement and Involvement, and General / Overall Rating. Moreover, course evaluations aid universities in assessing the effectiveness of their academic programs and identifying areas for enhancement. By soliciting student feedback, the faculty can continuously refine their courses to meet the evolving needs of students and maintain high standards of education. Ultimately, course evaluations play a crucial role in fostering a culture of accountability, transparency, and continuous improvement within our faculty and university.

FoE UIII's staff as a guest lecture at Universitas Multimedia Nusantara, Serpong, Tangerang

The Rasch model is a powerful tool in measurement theory, particularly in educational and psychological assessments as well as for business research. It provides a framework for understanding how individuals respond to items on a scale and how these responses relate to their underlying ability or trait. In a guest lecture on the Rasch model, key points would include its fundamental principles, such as the requirement of item independence and the concept of person and item parameters. Additionally, discussing practical applications, such as test development, item analysis, and person ability in the context of business research, would be valuable. It's important to address common misconceptions and challenges in implementing the Rasch model, along with strategies for interpretation and validation. Demonstrating its versatility in business research, like customer satifcation, employee motivation, consumer product choice or market research, would highlight its broad utility. Overall, this guest lecture aims to equip participants with a foundational understanding and practical insights into utilizing the Rasch model effectively.
