Course evaluations available next week
|
Once again, faculty members were able to choose between paper and online evaluations for each of their courses. Distribution of both online and paper versions will begin on Monday, April 19. Online course evaluations are sent directly to the students at their USI email (@mail.usi.edu) account. The evaluations are also available on the students' Blackboard page on the "Organizations" tab (even if the instructor does not use Blackboard for the course). Faculty members opting for online evaluations are asked to remind their students to check their email accounts and encourage them to complete the evaluations promptly. Reminder emails will be sent on April 22 and April 28 to those students who have not completed their evaluations by that date. Online evaluations will remain open until 8:00 am on Monday, May 3. Instructors who chose traditional paper evaluations can expect to find their course evaluation packets in their USI mailboxes by Monday, April 19. These evaluations are to be completed during class sometime between Monday, April 19 and Friday, April 30. Individual student responses are kept confidential. Faculty members will receive a statistical summary report for each of their classes soon after grades have been released. Department chairs and deans also receive copies of these reports for faculty in their department/college. More information about course evaluations can be found at http://www.usi.edu/opra/CourseEvaluations.asp. |
