How to evaluate universities?

What is the quality and evaluation of running a university?

In my opinion, what is the purpose of running a university in the first place? If the purpose of running a school is scientific research, it is necessary to evaluate scientific research achievements and high-quality papers.

If it is to train talents for the society, it is necessary to evaluate the employment rate and employment quality, including the professional counterpart rate.

If it is to make money, it should be evaluated as an enterprise. There is nothing wrong with the school making money. Vocational education is a profitable undertaking. As long as it conforms to the law, it is reasonable and legal.

However, at present, the state likes to engage in teaching evaluation. My feeling is to evaluate the process of all aspects of teaching, hoping that this process can be standardized and unified, and then ultimately promote the improvement of teaching quality.

I thought the leadership of Huada was never an enterprise. An enterprise has a clear goal first, but our school-running goal is not clear. The tighter we hold on, the worse the process will be. That's why there are so many evaluation jokes and so much waste in the evaluation process.

For example, in order to facilitate expert spot checks, after submitting a standard answer to the Academic Affairs Office, we need to keep an answer in each class's test paper bag, because in case of expert spot checks, we may not find the answer for a while, so let's solve it first. Now that we have evaluated it, this will continue as a rule. This rule wastes teachers' time and paper. The same course, 65,438+000 lessons, will also be copied.

In fact, I have always found it strange that 80% of the projects to be spot-checked by the Ministry of Education can be spot-checked online, and a website submission system can be established. All university schedules, syllabuses and curriculum systems can be online, each teacher can arrange courses and teaching documents online, all grades can be online, and even all papers can be scanned online (this cost seems high, N times lower than receiving experts). These can be arranged by ordinary people in accordance with the standardized procedures for spot checks. Why do you have to?

But being a member of the expert group basically means a good harvest this year, which goes without saying. Everyone knows that this is a hidden rule.

I later learned that after the 1990s, no matter who came up, the Ministry of Education always designed various names for evaluation. This is the undergraduate teaching evaluation, and it is estimated that the vocational education evaluation will be next time! Of course, the undergraduate course will be held once every five years. This prediction is absolutely reliable!
