Abstract

Evaluation and evaluation methods are driven by the nature and aims of the activity being assessed.
Changes to these factors are likely to require changes to evaluation methods. Business undergraduate courses are undergoing significant changes due to demands of industry (potential business graduate employers) and teaching innovations. These changes are occurring faster than evaluation methods are being developed, with the exception of student feedback. Student feedback has become one of the main ways of evaluating the student learning experience and the quality of delivery of business undergraduate courses. The process of collection and the mechanisms employed have tended to develop piecemeal over time. This paper reviews the research carried out into current feedback methods. The importance of the student role is identified. A case example of the methods used for first year students on the business and management degree course at City
Business school is presented to illustrate some of the issues. Some ways to improve the feedback process are proposed.
