In our classes, we had all of our colleagues in learning providing their own mission statement forthe course.Self Evaluation Concept from William Glasser to Improve Teaching We are attempting to apply William Glassar’s (1986, 1993) recommended process for self evaluationwith the aim of producing quality work, in our case, quality teaching in the classroom and laboratory. Adeliberate process is important when improved quality, reduced cost, and reduced delivery time (QCD) areimportant. We think this is the situation in teaching. There is a high interest in improved quality, in fact thishas always been true in higher education. There is always a limit on cost
