STUDENT EVALUATION OF COURSES AND INSTRUCTORS
The main goal of student evaluations is to help faculty improve courses and instruction;
moreover, student evaluations are used in the annual evaluation of faculty. Therefore,
faculty will administer student evaluations for each course* they teach during the fall and
spring semesters, and the summer sessions. All student evaluations must include both
quantitative and qualitative sections and be completed by the last teaching day of the
semester or summer session. Results from these evaluations will be returned to the
faculty member in a timely manner. Fall semester student evaluations will be returned by
midterm of the following spring semester. Spring semester evaluations will be returned
by midterm of the following summer session II. Summer session evaluations will be
returned by midterm of the following fall semester. All academic units are expected to
follow this policy and exceptions should be reported to the Vice President for Academic
Affairs.
*Possible exceptions must be approved by the department head and might include student teaching,
practicum courses, thesis courses, directed studies, internships, or other courses with low enrollments (<5)
where the anonymity could be compromised.
