Abstract

The evaluation of lecturers by students in higher institutions is important to monitor and control academic quality. This work was conducted to evaluate lecturers' teaching methods in Federal University of Technology (FUT Minna) using survey evaluation technique and implemented on a JavaFX platform. The scope of this work is for all undergraduate students in FUT Minna and quality assurance staff. The Lecturer Evaluation System (LES) was developed integrating various components in computer science. The participants for the LES were drawn from various departments in the institution consisting of 20 students each from 100 to 500 levels. The LES was evaluated using the System Usability Scale (SUS) and aggregations were obtained from students' reviews. Results showed that 90% of 400 level students and 60% of 200 students level preferred the system, 40% of 100 level students found the system’s usage tedious, 50% of the 300 level students and 30% of 500 level students found the system cumbersome to operate. It was concluded that the system was easy to interact with, workability process was not complex, and it could be used to assess lecturers' teaching methods.
