The 18 questions of the questionnaire were measured on a scale from 1 through 5. A factor analysis technique was performed on the survey questions which measured the students'evaluations of the effectiveness of university teacher. In the first part of application of factor analysis, 5 factors were identified as having eigenvalues greater than or equal to one.
