ABSTRACT

The study hypothesises that with increased or better ratings or scores on course, teacher and tutorial characteristics, the students’ performance is assumed to be better. Students learn more in an environment where these abovementioned characteristics are graded better on a scale by students. Based on the statistical analysis, the findings point out a low agreement of students towards course and tutorial characteristics while the majority of students are in high agreement of teacher characteristics are just right. There are no such differences in opinions between master and bachelor programme about course, teacher and tutorial characteristics. Study finds a strong association between overall performance of teacher and teacher characteristics but course and tutorial characteristics are not significantly affecting the overall performance of the teacher. However, this relationship is weaker when compared to teacher characteristics but still, course and tutorial characteristics are positively associated with the overall performance of the teacher.

Key words: Course characteristics; teacher characteristics; tutorial; evaluation
