Faculty Course Evaluations
The On-Line Faculty Course Evaluation (FCE) system is now open for Spring 06 courses, and will remain open until 8AM Monday, May 8th.
Research by the Eberly Center and other institutions shows that the single most effective way to increase student participation substantially is for you to explain to students why the evaluation is important to you and how you use the information. If you take just a few minutes to encourage your students to complete the evaluation for your course, your response rates are likely to increase significantly.
Ok.
The school uses FCEs mostly to monitor faculty effectiveness as teachers. That information is used to determine who teaches what, whether adjuncts are a good investment, and in the renewal process for professors. It is probably the most effective way students have to say that they like someone's work, or that they appreciate the way an instructor has structured their experience.
I use FCEs to make sure that the level of the material is appropriate to the level of the class, that the amount of work is appropriate, and that I am accessible enough for students to get through the material. When someone says something I have experimented with worked well, that thing definitely finds its way into next year's syllabus.
Since you are sitting at a computer right now, why not take a few minutes to fill out your FCEs for my class - and remember to tell them how helpful I was in providing this reminder!
