Education plays an important role in the development of the country, specifically as a place to create knowledgeable human resources to ensure the growing economic and social activities. The assessment of training quality in a higher education institution is of interest to countries and sectors. There are many forms of evaluation of teaching activities of instructors such as: self-assessment by instructors, peer-reviewed evaluation, leadership evaluation, assessment through teaching records, student learning outcomes, etc and through student feedback. Research shows that the form of student evaluate instructors is important because students are both the center, the object, the product of the training process, and the main beneficiary. Therefore, assessing the quality from the student's point of view is one of the measures of training quality. However, student evaluation of instructors is also affected by a number of objective and subjective factors; affected by demographic characteristics of students, influenced by factors of socio-economic characteristics. Besides, the subjective factors from the lecturer also affect the results of the evaluation of the teaching activities of the instructors.
