Class Climate, the web-based course evaluation tool, helps measure an instructor’s achievements in teaching. To create well-designed, valid, reliable, and practical Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) questionnaires the instruments should:
>> include open- and close-ended questions
>> include intentional measures of both general instructor attributes (e.g. enthusiasm or effectiveness) and specific instructor behaviors (e.g. listening, providing feedback)
>> use consistent scales (e.g., five-points, same direction, 1 = low, 5 = high) and a no-opinion option
>> produce useful feedback to instructors that can inform their teaching
>> can be completed thoughtfully within 10 to 15 minutes
When developing course evaluations consider:
>> How will the student evaluation information be used?
>> Is it important to re-ask demographic information?
>> What types of reports do we need for our department? for the College? for Promotion and Tenure?
>> What types of questions will help achieve professional, departmental, and College goals?
>> How will the findings help us departmentally to recruit students, and promote Iowa State University’s mission?
Once these objectives have been defined the creation of the questionnaire will be easier to accomplish.
This is a handout for the workshop "Open Education for Collaboration, Flexibility, and Global Visibility", which I gave at University of Nairobi on August 27, 2013. All of the materials for the workshop are available at http://openmi.ch/uon-aug2013.

International Target Operating Model Design

SLIDE 1
• A Plan is only of value if it is successfully implemented
• A good Strategy is important… A Great Operating Model is more beneficial
• A Target Operating Model ensures everyone is aligned and knows what to do
SLIDE 2
What is an Operating Model?
• A breakdown of a business into its key components
• A framework for how an organization operates in terms of people, processes and technology
• A basis for formulating strategy and making informed decisions
What Is a Target Operating Model?
• A structure that dictates how the business should be organized
• A target state informed by strategy and opportunities for optimization
• An operational design that depicts how business objectives will be achieved
• A basis for developing operational improvement and transformation plans
• A framework that enables goal congruence
SLIDE 3
Why is a Target Operating Model Important?
• Without a Target Operating Model operations often evolve and do not fully align to the business vision and strategy
– This approach might work initially, however it has significant associated risk
– Clients and products are added, new markets are entered and acquisitions are integrated.
– People, processes and technologies build and a complicated web of inefficient and ineffective systems and processes is created
• A Target Operating Model based on the business strategy often leads to a significant competitive advantage:
– Faster decision making in areas such as launching new products, services and partnerships
– Improved client service through greater roles and responsibility definition across the organization
– Better investments as they can more easily be assessed and prioritized based on business impact
– Reduced risk from a more controlled and stable operating environment
– Higher colleague engagement and alignment from clearer strategic execution plans
– Greater long-term operational efficiency and optimization
• Businesses without a Target Operating Model typically:
– Deploy increasingly greater resources simply to manage the issue resolution and operational deficiencies.
– Decisions are slow due to the lack of clarity as to how to implement strategies
– Costs of adapting technology and processes increase exponentially
SLIDE 4
Where does the Target Operating Model Fit In?
• A Corporate Strategy must be reflected in a Target Operating Model for the Strategy to be successfully implemented
• The Target Operating Model comes below the vision and corporate strategy and above the operational planning and execution.
• The Target Operating Model can be created in layers
• The Target Operating Model for corporate, country and function level operations must be aligned and congruent with the Corporate Strategy

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
