Development of a software to evaluate faculty performance

Since the last few years,emphasis has been placed on evaluating the performance of teaching faculty of educational institutions. this evaluation is normally carried out manually,by distributing printed questionnaires to the students,where they convey evaluations based on their thinking and understanding. in this case,handling enormous data and further summarizing the conducted surveys regarding the teacher's evaluation,could be quite massive. to ease this situation,a software has been designed,which can be conveniently used by students to rank their teachers. by using this in-house developed software,any chance of computational errors in finalizing such surveys in a timely manner can be avoided. in addition,it provides multidimensional survey analysis facilities to the survey conducting authorities. © pakistan academy of sciences.
