How does this relate to evaluating the teaching method? An organization
that learns evaluates its' methods.

Atur,

These sound like great assignments but they have little to do with a
University becoming an organization that learns. Where do you and the
faculty evaluate how well these methods worked and decide on experiments
in new teaching methods.

Improving is not about activities or evaluating students but evaluations
the methods used to teach and the teachers then trying to find a better
way to impart knowledge.

Just reacting to what I read.
