points. But s/he will be awarded the maximum of 20 points in that category.

be required to submit some evidence of work done Each institution may further develop
these criteria and specify the requirements for the various categories mentioned here.

feedback questionnaire wherein the students can give their assessment of the quality of his/
her teaching. S/he would be entitled to the points irrespective of the content of the feedback.
