RE: STUDENT ASSESSMENT OF SUMMER SCHOOL FACULTY
DATE: July 5th, 2011
In order to assure that all Summer Session 2011 course offerings are evaluated by students, the Student Assessment of Instruction will be administered July 12th -July 15th, 2011 for each class section offered during the Summer Session 2011. The evaluation will require no more than 15 minutes; therefore, you are requested to meet your classes as usual and to leave the last 15 minutes for the assessment.
To assist in completing this cycle of student assessment of instruction, you are requested to abide by the following procedures:
1. Pick up your envelopes of assessment instruments from your department office beginning Tuesday July 12th (one envelope for each class with class number and instructor’s name). Please have the students fill out the reporting form for each class according to the provided instructions on the survey instrument using a #2 pencil.
2. Inform students, in advance, that the student evaluation of faculty instruction is scheduled for Tuesday July 12th through Friday July 15th, 2011. Please remind all students that they should bring a #2 pencil to class on the date chosen by the instructor.
3. Identify, in advance, a responsible student volunteer who can confidentially administer the survey and can be trusted to deliver the completed surveys to the Office of Academic Affairs.
4. During the week of administering the survey, take the appropriate envelope to your class.
5. Instruct the student volunteer to pass out the instruments to the class members. At the end of the period, the student should collect the completed instruments, place them in the envelope securely, and deliver the envelope to the Office of Academic Affairs (Rosenwald Room 203).
6. After passing the envelope to the student, the faculty member is required to leave the classroom.
7. Make every effort to involve each of your students in the evaluation. (Try to reschedule the assessment for students who are absent at the first administration).
All faculty members are encouraged to report unforeseen problems to Dr. Keith Wismar at kwismar@dillard.edu. Thank you for your assistance in completing the student evaluations!
