Student ratings should NOT be administered during an examination because research has shown that the rating is likely to reflect student opinion about the exam rather than about the whole course when administered during an examination. The best time for evaluation is at the beginning of a class period. To administer an evaluation a faculty should take the relevant course packet to class, appoint a student volunteer as monitor, hand the packet unopened to the student monitor, then leave the room until the monitor informs him or her that the evaluation has been completed. Results of Student Evaluations Reports of the results from student evaluations are sent to faculty members only unless it is department policy to do otherwise. Student comments are returned to the faculty along with reports of evaluation results.
Faculty members are responsible for keeping reports of results.
CEUT has neither the resources to make copies of reports each quarter nor the space in which to keep them. The database and copies of reports are kept at the University of Arizona where results are processed. If copies of reports must be retrieved from the University of Arizona, it is both costly and time-consuming. Questions About the Evaluation Process Faculty with questions about the evaluation process are urged to call CEUT, extension 2443.
