2 Introduction After completing a needs analysis, the university found that they needed to create a student end-of-term evaluation that was more effective. A needs analysis, sometimes referred to as a gap analysis, is a procedure that finds issues or shortcomings, examines the reasons behind them, and makes recommendations for fixing them (Newbauer, 2023). Organizations can use it to make sure they are on track to meet their objectives and to better understand where they are and where they want to be (Newbauer, 2023). They have some worries that the material on the present evaluation form needs to be revised after reviewing it. At the moment, the university employs the Student-of-Term Evaluation as a tool to confirm that the classes offered are in line with the student's degree plan, the instructor is providing the necessary training, and the students are receiving the correct contact for their class. Towards the conclusion of the term, the student receives an online survey with questions for this evaluation. They must answer using the options offered, which include strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, or disagree strongly. This kind of student review aids the university in assessing the training that their professors have imparted. Level of Evaluation The student evaluation at the conclusion of the term is a formative assessment that prioritizes knowledge transfer and student happiness (Purdue Global, n.d.). I would talk about the first evaluation level, which is reactions. In their survey questions, this gauges how satisfied the student is with the program, content, and material (Noe, 2022). This would be the ideal level to evaluate because the university requires an assessment that would provide them with the data they need to improve student learning outcomes. Levels 2 and 3 are additional levels to take into account. In order to ensure that the University produces the finest results for their students, these additional levels ought to be incorporated. It might offer the university insight into the opinions
3 of the students on the courses. Did they learn anything from the offered content, and was it useful? Additionally, the university would gain insight into how successfully the instructors are instructing the classes. By evaluating the transfer of learning which is the process of applying knowledge, abilities, and tactics to new circumstances or contexts (Turn Learning Into Action, 2014). Changes ` I would update or modify a few sections of the University's training evaluation now that I have determined the levels of evaluation. Upon reviewing the assessment questions, I've discovered that they should be more detailed as they are now quite vague. It is divided into categories on the course subject, academic performance, if the material is relevant to your career success, and the instructor's effectiveness in the classroom. The student responds with a generic response, yet they are able to reply on certain questions but not all of them. The inquiries ought to be focused on the student's field of study. I would rephrase the question's original formulation. The current format of the question is, "The course activities have practical application to my degree and/or career." The only response options available to the student are agree or disagree. Instead of only offering them a choice, I would give them the chance to explain by asking, "Did you find that course activities had relevance for this class, why or why not?" I would ask every question in this way because it would provide the university a precise indication of how effectively each course is serving the needs of the students. These open-ended questions promote critical thinking and creativity by allowing people to freely express their views (Mcnamara, 2018). Leaving open-ended questions till the end of the survey is usually a good approach in order to catch any information that closed-ended questions may have missed (Mcnamara, 2018). In addition, they could delve deeper and see whether any adjustments are required.
