Professor Marsh said that SETs were reliable and stable. But he pointed out that in the last decade SETs were mainly used for personnel decisions rather than to improve teaching effectiveness. Also, it is opined that the feedback from students is potentially demoralizing to academics and does not lead to full implementation of programmes to improve teaching effectiveness. 50th Anniversary Fair Public Lecture From March to November 2013, a total of eight public lectures were delivered by CUHK professors from different Faculties, covering a wide range of topics. Four of them were held within the year under review. The lectures were held at the Hong Kong Central Library to encourage greater participation from the general public. The lecture, entitled ‘The Ideal and Reality of University Education’ and presented by Prof. Lee Ou-fan Leo, Sin Wai Kin Professor of Chinese Culture of CUHK, and Prof. Kwan Tze-wan, professor in the Department of Philosophy, took place on 9 March. Professor Lee gave an account of what a University spirit should be by quoting Mr. Cai Yuanpei, former president of Peking University, Prof. Ambrose King, former CUHK Vice- Chancellor, as well as Prof. Chen Pingyuan. Professor Kwan briefly talked about the much-discussed Humboldtian Model of university education. This Humboldtian backdrop was then compared to the reality of contemporary university education in order to arrive at some critical reflections on the educational practices in universities of our time, especially regarding the disinterested nature of education and research, and the solitude and freedom of a university.
