Procedures for Administration and Use of Student Evaluations 1. All final course evaluations are to be conducted either in class during dead week, or during the period of time allocated to the final examination. Evaluations are to be conducted by a person other than the faculty member. The faculty member must not be present during the evaluation. Students must be given sufficient time to complete quantitative questionnaires and write evaluative comments if they desire.
Forms containing written comments are to be sorted into signed and unsigned groups.
The signed forms are to be copied for use by the department. After grades have been submitted and the computer analysis of the quantitative questionnaires has been completed, the results of the quantitative evaluation, the original signed written evaluations, and all unsigned evaluations are to be returned to the faculty member. The department archives the statistical results and the copies of signed written evaluations for use in future faculty evaluations. One copy of the statistical results of each course evaluated shall be placed in the permanent personnel file of the person being evaluated. All materials in the departmental archives related to the evaluation of teaching are carefully reviewed for annual and cumulative evaluations and must be included as the supplementary materials on the promotion and tenure dossier.
