Multiple evaluations are needed for learning. It is important to use multiple assessments when assessing something because a single assessment might be flawed or inaccurate in some way.
Each ourse should be evaluated periodically to improve the learning as well as curriculum, quality assurance, professional development, and personnel actions. Teachers, students, and administrators are all stakeholders in this process. Revisions should include information from multiple sources and multiple methods. Methods of evaluation may include course gades, syllabus scans, assignments and assessments, reflective question tools and portfolios as well as interviews or focus groups.
Multiple evaluations are important, as long as they are not marred in the quagmire of bureaucratic decision making about
teaching and test scores as a means of evaluation.
Multiple evalutions are needed for a successful course outline.
There are a variety of tools for evaluating a course and courses need to be continually evaluated, updated, and changed. A stagnate course, even if it started out okay, quickly becomes stale and outdated. Student evaluations are important, but they are only one source of data.

Instructors need to use various methods to evaluate their course delivery and content to adjust for quality improvement.
Evaluations are essential to improve and be an effective instructor.
Feedback from multiple sources will help to improve the quality of one's course. It is important to remember that students are consumers and we want them to be satisfied with their learning experience.
I learned that you don't want to rely on just one way to evaluate the course and see what is working and not working. Use multiple sources.
That I need multiple evaluations and multiple inputs from all stakeholders to improve my online course.
I learned that multiple forms of evaluation are important. I found this to be true in an online course I am taking with another university I work for. The instructor provides video walkthrough feedback with audio to address our strengths and weaknesses. It blew my mind and helped me be even more deeply engaged.
Not every student learn at same pace, which means the more methods the better experience for course.
Implement various forms of feedback to upgrade your course

You should use multiple evaluations as a technique to evaluate your courses. Having peers to review them can be of great help
I can use multiple methods of evaluating my teaching while seeing both positive and negative feedback which can enhance my teaching skills
It takes multiple tools for student success. I had not heard the term "closing the loop". Good practice!
At any given point, a teacher may be a student and a student may be a teacher. With that said, multiple evaluations are a neccessity in order to assess thoroughly. There are many different types of learners as there are many different types of teachers. In order to be successful and effective as a teacher, multiple evaluations and assessments will help in determining the areas of improvements as well as strengths. After this lesson, I plan on being more diligent in obtaining evaluations from multiple resourses in order to improve my method of delivering my lessons.
With multiple stakeholders comes a more robust community in gathering information when looking at a curriculum or process change in a course. Using all possible sources will help keep the course relevant and current.
The course evaluation covers all aspects of the course, and is dependent on the evaluation. Assessment improves student learning experiences, improves curriculum, helps focus professional development, impacts quality, and impacts staff decisions.
Student feedback and peer review are very useful for me to make sure my course is on track with learning objectives and maintaining outcomes.
