The purpose of the present study was to survey teachers views on the performance evaluation methods employed in the wolkite, Wachemo and Welaita sodo University. 280 randomly selected participants from the three universities were involved in the survey. Data gathered through questionnaire survey were analyzed using descriptive analysis method. The questionnaire surveys were used to examine the teachers views on the existing evaluation method. The present finding revealed that the performance evaluation method lacks objectivity, do not support teacher’s professional development and the evaluation procedures are in accordance with the purpose of evaluation. Based on the findings and discussions of study, conclusion and recommendations were forwarded.

Meta Analyses

Accurately capturing an individual’s cognitive status is a key requirement for identifying levels of impairment in patients with central nervous system indications, including in those with diagnoses of major depressive disorders (MDD). This requirement extends to the determination of whether a therapeutic intervention has impacted cognition and, if so, the extent to which this has occurred. In this chapter we will consider these issues with respect to the assessment of cognition in patients with MDD. We begin with a review of performance on measures reported in recent meta-analyses and with a particular focus on their sensitivity to treatment effects. We proceed to a consideration of how best we might accurately capture levels of cognitive performance and the precautions required to reduce sources of measurement error. These methods will then be considered in the context of a recent case study of a treatment (vortioxetine) development programme. The issues explored in the context of assessing cognition in the vortioxetine programme are then considered in the context of screening for deficits in patients with MDD. We close the chapter with a summary and recommendations for the accurate assessment of cognition, as well as a brief consideration of how technological developments might aid this process.
