Student Evaluations

• Typically administered around 10th week
• Results available for faculty members as they
  submit grades
• Problem doesnt really provide evaluation of
  entire semester
• Thus, its been proposed they be done later
• However, its now a moot point were having
  these processed on a College wide basis
• Allows for comparisons of faculty across
  departments
• Means we wont have them processed early
• Therefore, well be doing them later

7
A Related Issue Student Satisfaction Surveys

• Yes, theyre (very) flawed but were probably
  stuck with them
• Still, these will not be used at the
  departmental level for merit, etc.
• Pay attention to them or ignore them
• If nothing else, use to gauge satisfaction
• Learning a satisfied student is more likely to
  learn (maybe)
