The methods of the assessment of faculty member in universities varied. Some of them depend on the assessment of the faculty member on the teaching and research burden. Others assessments focus on how much teaching is provided during the calendar year. There are some ways in which the faculty member’s assessment depends on the qualitative aspect provided by the faculty member. In addition, some of them combine both quantitative and qualitative aspects of the necessities to reach an appropriate evaluation process. This research aimed to consider the student as an essential part in the educational science and it is clear that the role taken by the student is no less important than the other role. This research started, where a questionnaire was prepared which included several paragraphs to measure the extent to which the student can evaluate the professor. The fourth stage students were chosen as the study sample because the students at last stage in the university has a good level of thinking and preparation. That means these students have experience in understanding the level of teaching and the knowledge of teachers. The proposed approach tries to analyze the educational model for evaluation developed in the Computer Science Department of the University of Anbar for learning and teaching of computer science and related scientific disciplines. In general, it is clear that more than 50% of the tested sample are satisfied with the teaching process which indicated good results have been achieved.
