Excellence in teaching  
  The University requires all Divisions to undertake Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) for all courses offered.  How well is the Division of Ecology & Biodiversity doing?  SET aggregate scores in two categories (‘course effectiveness’ and ‘teacher effectiveness’) over the last few years consistently placed the Division of Ecology & Biodiversity in the top rank, indicating that we have the most successful and best-taught courses in the Science Faculty.
