A great change is now taking place in higher education throughout our country。 Teachers are being held responsible as never before for how well they serve their students。 It has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students。 In some universities students＇ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness。

This， however， has caused great controversy。 Some are in favor of the rating system。 They hold that since students attend the teachers classes everyday， they should have their opinion about their teachers＇ effectiveness。 Others， on the contrary， are strongly against it。 They think that students＇ rating is easy to administer and score， but it also is easy to abuse。 They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students＇ rating forms。 Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials used are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject。These judgments require professional knowledge， which is best left for the teachers＇ colleagues。

I think students＇ rating of their teachers is necessary， but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers＇ performance。 Instead of rating the teachers＇ knowledge on the subject， students should be asked to estimate what they themselves have leaned in a course， and to report on such things as a teacher＇s ability to communicate with students， his relationship with students， and his ability to arouse interest in the subject。

Many years ago, there is no way for students to evaluate teachers, for people treat the teachers in a high level, students are in the low level, they are immature. Now, many schools have carried on this practice, I believe such that evaluations are good for both teachers and students.

很多年前，學(xué)生是不可能有機(jī)會(huì)評(píng)價(jià)老師，因?yàn)槿藗冇X得老師處在高水平，學(xué)生處在低水平，而且也不成熟。現(xiàn)在，很多學(xué)校已經(jīng)實(shí)行了這樣的制度，我相信評(píng)價(jià)對(duì)學(xué)生和老師都有好處。

On the one hand, students’ evaluation of the teachers can promote the harmonious environment between teachers and students. Teachers always give students the serious impression, they just like the unchallenging authority. But now, people emphasize the equal relationship in education, which means teachers and students learn from each other. Students can give their opinion to teachers, teachers can improve themselves.

一方面，學(xué)生對(duì)老師的評(píng)價(jià)可以促進(jìn)師生間的和諧相處環(huán)境。老師總是給學(xué)生很嚴(yán)肅的印象，他們就像不可挑戰(zhàn)的權(quán)威。但是現(xiàn)在，人們?cè)诮逃矫鎻?qiáng)調(diào)平等的關(guān)系，意味著老師和學(xué)生互相學(xué)習(xí)。學(xué)生可以把自己的意見講給老師，老師可以自我提高。

On another hand, teachers can benefit from students’ evaluation. In tradition, teachers assess a student from the test, they master a student’s learning level according to the exams, but it is not enough. Students are the major learners, they can evaluate a teacher, letting he know how his teaching method goes, the teacher can adjust his method according to students’ reaction.

在另一方面，老師可以從學(xué)生的評(píng)價(jià)中收益。在傳統(tǒng)中，老師是通過測(cè)試來評(píng)估學(xué)生，他們通過

In conclusion, the evaluation about the teachers is beneficial, teachers can know their advantages and disadvantages, they can improve their teaching methods and to create a harmonious learning phenomenon.

總的來說，對(duì)老師的評(píng)價(jià)是有益的，老師可以知道自身的優(yōu)點(diǎn)和缺點(diǎn)，他們可以提高自己的教學(xué)方法和創(chuàng)造一個(gè)和諧的教學(xué)氛圍。

Usually, our teachers often give some evaluation on us according to the performance in their eyes. Although it is one of the Chinese traditional education system, it is unfair in some extend. So, teacher evaluation becomes an important part in the education system, especially in the course evaluation. To have high quality courses, both teachers and students should take the responsibility. So, if students can appraise the teaching quality for every teacher, it will be helpful for high quality classes. As no one will be perfect, teachers can realize their disadvantages on teaching from teacher evaluation. Thus, it is important and necessary.

通常，我們老師經(jīng)常會(huì)根據(jù)在他們眼中我們的表現(xiàn)來做出一些評(píng)價(jià)。雖然這是中國(guó)教育體系中的.一個(gè)傳統(tǒng)，但是在一定程度上是不公平的。所以，教師評(píng)價(jià)已成為教 育體系的重要組成部分，特別是在課程評(píng)價(jià)上。展開高質(zhì)量的課程，教師和學(xué)生都有責(zé)任。所以，如果學(xué)生能夠?qū)γ總€(gè)教師的教學(xué)質(zhì)量做出評(píng)價(jià)，這將有助于提高課 程的質(zhì)量。沒有人是完美的，教師可以教師評(píng)價(jià)中了解到自己的缺點(diǎn)。所以說教師評(píng)價(jià)是重要和必要的。
