      <abstract>
        <p>This paper introduces and examines the issue of evaluation along a different perspective. It argues that</p>
        <p>feedback regarding the teaching, the learning and the materials used is crucial for the ongoing professional</p>
        <p>development of teachers. It also presents different points of view regarding evaluation such as ones’</p>
        <p>cultural awareness, level of acceptance, the issue of judging etc. The fact that others involved in the</p>
        <p>process are the ones that as so, have a say in what we do, is usually a fact that is not so easily accepted by</p>
        <p>teachers. It is either not part of the culture, part of our awareness or even part of our daily challenge.</p>
        <p>However, the level of self-improvement relies on the whole process of evaluation. As so, this paper further</p>
        <p>elaborates the issue of self-improvement through self-evaluation and student involvement in the process</p>
        <p>through course evaluation. Participants in the case study are a total of 33 third year students, registered in</p>
        <p>the course of Program Development at IBU. The instruments used tend to make a balance among the</p>
        <p>elements of teaching and course evaluation and therefore consist of both elements i.e. the teacher and the</p>
        <p>students (as the observers) along the semester. Regarding self-evaluation (teaching), two instruments are</p>
        <p>used: a classroom management profile questionnaire and an observation checklist on the teaching</p>
        <p>elements (the teaching, material, presentation, feedback and discussions) and in terms of course</p>
        <p>evaluation an additional two instruments are used: student feedback (The Exit Ticket) and the students’</p>
        <p>overall exam scores and results for the course i.e. midterm, final, makeup and upgrade exam are taken</p>
        <p>into consideration. Overall discussion, limitations and future recommendations are also provided.</p>
