Abstract: Course delivery evaluation of programmes by students in higher education institutions has become a global phenomenon for improving the quality of teaching and learning. From the past, it has been discovered that the quality of effective teaching and learning in Higher Education is dwindling and thus, the relevance of graduates to the development of national growth becomes an issue to be addressed. To solve this challenge, quality control and enhancement of course delivery comes to the fore in attacking the menace. The data used in this chapter consist of six thousand, eight hundred and fifty-eight responses from four hundred and seventy-six courses. The data were clustered first according to departments and then according to the lecturers. The thematic areas studied are lecture delivery, lecturer's attitude to learners, coverage of curriculum, use of library and internet for research, healthy lecturers-learners' relationships, and feedback system. A simple but powerful statistical analysis was deployed to analyse the data. The results reflected areas that have critical effect on teaching and learning. The results showed that 24% of the factors considered in this study have significant effects on effective teaching and learning. Furthermore, about 20% of the lecturers assessed were lacking in the determined factors.
