Scanning services collaborates with the Evaluation of Teaching and Courses Programme within TDU. As part of the service, we provide a scanning facility to mark multiple choice assessments, in addition to student evaluations. The scanner provides results and percentages, which we forward back to you. Kindly familiarize yourself with the process in order to ensure the integrity of your assessments and/or evaluations.
What services do we offer?
In order to make use of the scanning service kindly request the multiple-choice bubble sheets from Ms Nqabisa Nzenze. These sheets cost 70c per page for assessment purposes but are available at no charge for student evaluations. Assessments and evaluations can only be processed if the original multiple choice bubble sheets are used.
Scanning assessments

Scanning evaluations
The scanning of the students’ evaluations and feedback of their experience in the classroom for the lecturer’s professional development is a free service offered by TDU. Due to the confidential nature of the evaluation of teaching and courses the results will only be returned to the academic that was evaluated.
