CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Student evaluation of teaching is an important part of the institutions, it
constitute to the continuous improvement and support for good teaching
learning process. Result on teaching can be collected using a clock
technique i.e. attendance and also the institution approved student
evaluation surveys and other supplementary methods of evaluation such
as focus groups, peer review and moderation of student learning outcomes
with lecturers.
In relation to the evaluation of teaching, the commencement time of
lecture and the number of student in attendance will be taken at every
teaching period to evaluate the punctuality of the student and the
effectiveness of lecturers and their standard of teaching.

Statement of the problem

The falling standard of education in Nigeria is an issue that is requiring
attention, this necessitate the development of a system for evaluating
standard of teaching and punctuality such as the Intelligent Rating
System.

AIM OF THE PROJECT

The aim of this study is to design a teaching evaluating
system using interactive software that supports decision
making activity

Objectives of the project

To design an evaluating system that will be
used to rate lecturers.
To design a system that will be used to
check the punctuality of the lecturer.
To design a system that will be used to
rate a student

Justification
This project work will provide support that can be used to
evaluate teaching standard as well as the punctuality of every
student, which will enhance existing techniques by providing the
time of delivery at every lecture as well the number of student in
attendance and timely access to information.

Review of related works

The Decision Support System (DSS) evolved early in the era of
distributed computing. The history begins in about 1965 and it
is important to start formalizing a record of the ideas, people,
systems and technologies involved in this important area of
applied information technology. The concept of decision
support system has evolved from two main areas of research:
the theoretical studies of organizational decision making done
at the Carnegie Institute of Technology during the late 1950s
and early 1960s, and the technical work on interactive
computer systems, mainly carried out at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the 1960s.

METHODOLOGY
The major objective of designing a system is to produce an
output that has a value to its user. Generally, the decision support
system for student and lecturers evaluation provides an avenue
for the management to evaluate the punctuality of student,
lecturer and effective lecture taken by the student.
This proposed system gathering the required
resource through the clock-in and clock-out process.
Data are manipulated and automatic process to
yield result i.e. report. The implementation of these
system will be achieved using interactive software
(i.e. VISUAL BASIC version 6.0).

Conclusion
The following will be achieved if students are
allowed to evaluate their lecturers based on the
courses they are taught. The clarity of the stated
educational aims and learning outcomes, the
realism of stated pre-requisites/prior knowledge,
Curriculum and content - perceptions of
relevance/usefulness, the way in which the
curriculum was presented or delivered , the
development of subject-specific skills, the
development of non-subject specific (personal
and/or transferable) skills, the appropriateness of
the methods of assessment, the appropriateness of
the style of teaching, and the performance of
teacher, the quality of feedback on students
performance.
