Individual EVC Assignment - Essay Example

I support the diagnostic control system since it is confidential and free from external influence. The system gives the best judgment and evaluation of the professor by the students. It is, however, prone to students’ prejudice and attitude towards the professor. Many students tend to rate highly those professors whose courses perform well (Lavigne 100).         

            The diagnostic control system, as a result, favors exam-based learning where students mainly learn how to pass exams. However, I argue that a good professor should not only teach but also be instrumental in his or her students’ excellent performance in class. It is only through the excellence in class and a mastery of the course by the students that the same students can measure a professor’s effectiveness.
