Teacher Evaluation System Documentation

Introduction

This project was done as part of an assignment during my University time back in 2013. The Teacher Evaluation System is a web-based application designed to facilitate the evaluation of teaching quality by students. It allows students to rate various aspects of their instructors and courses, providing valuable feedback to educators. This documentation serves as a guide for setting up, using, and understanding the Teacher Evaluation System.

Features

• Student Evaluation: Students can rate instructors and courses based on predefined criteria.
• Data Visualization: Evaluation results are displayed using Google Charts, making it easy to interpret and analyze.
• User Authentication: Users need to log in to access the evaluation system, ensuring privacy and security.
• Dynamic Selection: Dropdown menus dynamically populate with relevant options based on the user's semester and department.
• Email Integration: Students can send emails to instructors directly from the system for further communication.
