OID provides a Course Survey Guidebook to assist faculty in the interpretation of the student rating forms. OID communicates with faculty in meeting their course objectives, involving students, communicating subject matter and fair assessment tools and grading procedures for student learning. OID s process was designed as an instructional development tool, to pinpoint strengths and weaknesses. OID aids in interpreting results and finding an appropriate course of action where and when it is needed. These sessions include course design, syllabus construction, various teaching methods, tenure procedures, and technology resources, along with community and social aspects of institutional life at the University.
State law mandates the monitoring of the English proficiency of the teaching staff.
OID oversees the assessment by providing forms to monitor incoming faculty interviews and provides the state with an annual report. These materials focus on specific teaching tips, research on teaching, classroom activities, issues such as classroom behavior, and the effect of campus and community on the learning environment.
