1. Average number of teaching hours per week
2. Number of attestations awarded in subjects without direct teaching (such as examinations before a committee, written papers, etc.)
3. Number of final works (theses) supervised or reviewed.

In these cases, it is mainly assessed whether the volume of the employee’s teaching activities corresponds to the number of teaching hours required for their job position. However, the assessment is not done mechanically, for example, we take into account that a lower number of teaching hours can be compensated by a higher number of theses supervised, etc. 

1. The employee’s own description of high quality teaching activities and methods

The goal is not to “brag”, but simply to describe in a factual way what good pedagogical practices each uses.

2. Student evaluations 

We are aware that the validity of the data obtained from student evaluations is limited. Therefore, we will only pay attention to evaluation results that ate low in a long term. On the other hand, excellent evaluations will only be taken into account when they are accompanied by a comment by the head of department, who can compare the evaluations of similar subjects at their department. 

3. Description of innovation activities – creation of new subjects and innovation of the existing ones. 

This does not imply that only innovative teaching is good teaching. However, it is important to have a general overview of the extent of innovations. Preparation of frequently innovated classes (such as creating completely new seminars every year) is more time-consuming, and therefore can be a good reason, for example, for a reduction of teaching hours.

Teaching does not only involve the organisation of lectures and seminars, but also many other activities: organisation of courses and state examinations, work with applicants, project activities focused on teaching, communication with students and student associations, etc. Everyone will be able to report a wide range of activities they are involved in. A tentative list is provided in Annex 1 to Dean’s Measure 17/2022. 

In the case of lecturers, special attention will be paid to teaching, as the evaluation of their teaching activities is the starting point for their overall rating (click here for more information on the overall evaluation result). Apart from the assessment of the above-specified criteria, lecturers will be asked to fill in a questionnaire assessing different aspects of their teaching activities. The aim is to lead them to reflect on their own teaching activity and to look for ways to improve it. In addition, there will be in‑class inspections, during which the lecturer will receive feedback on their teaching from the head of the department or a person designated by the head. However, in this zero round of evaluations, in-class inspections will be optional.
