Procedures for Course Evaluation

Committee on Appointments
October 27, 2000


The purpose of this memo is to inform you about the distributing and collecting of Teaching Evaluations for Semester I, 2000-2001.

The Registrar will provide the Provost's Office with registration lists for all courses below the level of 398-399. The Provost's Office will make up evaluation forms for all of these classes. They will be sent in separate envelopes (one for each course) to the office where the faculty members get their mail, by Monday, November 13. It is the faculty member's responsibility to pick up the forms in this office and to see that they are distributed in their classes.

Each faculty member has the option to invite one of the students in the class to administer the evaluations or, if he/she chooses, may contact a major representative as before to arrange a day on which they can come to the class. Either way, the faculty member will bring the forms to class and give them to the designated student, who will distribute and collect them. The student returns the completed forms to the same departmental office where the faculty member picked them up. All evaluations should be administered during the last two weeks of class. Please choose a day when attendance is likely to be high.

Departmental secretaries will take responsibility for returning the completed forms to Barbara Burns, Provost's Office-first floor-Taylor Hall. You may pick up the completed forms after grades for the courses have been turned in to the Registrar.

Insert a copy of the syllabus for each course after you have retrieved and opened each envelope. Keep the evaluations in their original envelopes for submission to your department chair and/or the Committee on Appointments the next time you are reviewed.

You may administer your own evaluations in addition to the standardized institutional form. For the purpose of institutional review, it is important to have consistent information from course to course and year to year, as provided by the standardized form.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact any member of the Committee. The members for 2001-02 are Peter Briggs, Chair, Committee on Appointments, Sharon Burgmayer, Jane Caplan, Maria Cristina Quintero, and x.
