Course Evaluations



Agenda 07-26-01
 
  • Should the course evaluation always be presented before the instructor evaluation or vice versa? Should the college be able to specify which comes first for all courses in their college? Or, should the order be uniform across the course evaluation system so that it is consistent from the student view?

    Team member comment: That is fine but I think we should tell them in advance that it is a 2-part process - part one for the course and part two for the instructor - so they begin to think that way (separate the two issues) before they begin part 1.

    Team member comment: I think we should discuss the order further. The number of questions about the instructor will almost always be fewer that the course evaluation ones, and less specific. So part of me thinks we should "get the instructor ones out of the way first", so the students will not get worn out over some specific course issues.

  • Should questions on be presented in this order:
    common --> college --> department --> instructor?
    We will enable ordering of questions within each of the above sections.

  • Finalize "Add a Question".
