Director of the Academic Quality Assurance Directorate at the University of Ghana, Professor Daniel K. Twerefou, has assured students that their identities remain fully anonymous during course lecturer evaluations.
Speaking on Campus Exclusive on Radio Univers on Monday July 21, Twerefou emphasized that no lecturer or faculty member can access the identity of individual students who participate in the evaluation process.
“If you are a student, you should be bold. These are things you have to cultivate from here. If you are convinced about something, feel free to express yourself. The system is designed to protect your identity. No lecturer will ever see who said what. What we analyze is the aggregated feedback from the class—not individual responses.”
Twerefou encouraged students to be open about the challenges they face in their courses, noting that such feedback is essential to improving teaching and learning at the university.
He also urged students to take the evaluations seriously, describing them as more than just a formality.
“Your feedback helps us make better decisions in terms of curriculum delivery, lecturer performance, and overall academic improvement,” he said.
The University of Ghana conducts lecturer evaluations regularly as part of efforts to uphold academic standards and promote a student-centered learning environment.
The Academic Quality Assurance Directorate is encouraging all students to participate actively in the process and help build a more responsive and effective academic system.
