Formal Course Evaluations
Student input is sought anonymously on a formal basis at the end of each term for evaluation of courses, course faculty, and teaching assistants. A standard online format is used for each evaluation. It is a student’s responsibility to complete appropriate evaluations for the course and instructors. All standardized responses are anonymous and will be tallied into percent response. This information is forwarded to the Department Chair, Program Director, and course faculty.
Course evaluations are a key component of program evaluation and are required reporting for ACOTE accreditation. Responses are also used by program faculty as part of curriculum evaluation, to assess course effectiveness, and to guide revisions to courses and the overall program. Additionally, course evaluations are part of faculty assessment and included in faculty portfolios for reappointment and promotion. Course evaluations are only seen by course faculty once all grades are submitted and the semester is complete. Your feedback is anonymous, and your professional, constructive feedback will help guide improvements in the curriculum.
