Page 125 4 Higher Education Research and Development Vol 2, No 1, 1983 1 Editorial Following the publication of the first utsuis we undertook a thorough review of the design of the journal in the fight of research into factors which make the reader's task bcth easier and more enjoyable. As a result of this review the requirements for the preparation of camera-ready copy have been considerably revised and readers should notice an improvement in the appearance of this issue compared with the previous two The slight increase in the print size will moan some reduction in the amount of material which we can publish each year. The printing industry is in a state of flux because of the introduction of new technologies. /t seems likely that in two or three years from now it will be possible for authors to prepare their copy on word-processor tapes which can be fed directly into a printing machine. This will speed up production and, we hope, further reduce costs. Editors and authors are heavily dependent upon the willingness of referees to give their time to the task of selecting and improving papers. It is clearly of great value to authors to be able to revise their work with the aid of detailed comments from referees. Unfortunately, it is still quite rare for students to be given this opportunity. Although we acknowledge the important contribution made by referees by listing their names at the front of the journal, this is not en adequate recognition of the part which many have played in creating the final version of a paper. Would it not be a good idea, with the agreement of all parties, for the names of referees to be given at the end of published papers' As a youthful editor, at least in experience, we have been surprised at the quality of a few of the papers which have been submitted. The lack of clarity, poor organisation, and abundance of typing errors sometimes conveys the impression of a hasty first draft which has been mailed without re reading in the quite unreasonable expectation that the editor and referees will undertake a major re-write on behalf of the author. We are critical of students who fail to check their work yet are sometimes guilty of the same failing. A recent book contained the following prefatory noteThis edition is the same as the previous edition except that the opportunity has been taken to correct a number of misprunts " 2 Higher Education Research and Development Vol 2, No 1, 1983 Editorial Consultants N.

The basis of the assessment was student feedback via questionnaire forms. Each form contained a common core of global items, aimed primarily at providing quantitative evidence relating to quality of teaching, and "tailor-made" items aimed at the improvement of teaching. The results of the evaluations are discussed in terms of the reliability and validity of the procedures. Staff attitudes to the exercise are also discussed, as are modifications to procedures which have been made based on staff and student opinion.
