CONTINUOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT 56
6. REVIEW OF TEACHING METHOD One way to improve our teaching skill is to periodically review both our teaching and assessment methods. It is useful to perform a full and thorough retrospect on the course that we have taught upon the completion of it. Even though I have taught some of the courses for more than 10 years, I still discover new insights in them every time I look back at my delivery and evaluation methods. This is partly because our knowledge and experience grow over time; and partly, also because each individual tend to respond differently in the class. The conglomeration of these factors inspire revelation in us. In Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, a course report is to be prepared at the end of every trimester. The course report records the review of the course. In other words, the educator is to analyze the teaching and assessment methods that he/she has implemented and develops plans for improvement and all these are to be written down into the report. 57 “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” - Confucius
