Course Evaluation Instructions

 
Students must use either a #2 pencil, black or blue ball point ink in order to mark the course evaluations. They may not use felt-tip pens or red ink.

One course evaluation form is provided for each student in your class. You can ask additional questions or solicit open comments using the first page.

In the event that your course includes multiple instructors, use a separate form for each instructor, with the proviso that students only fill out questions 1-11(section A) of the quantitative portion of the evaluation.

It is important for students to be aware that instructors do not see these forms until after the grading period. Each student would return the forms to a central stack which will be boxed subsequently, or an envelope which will be sealed subsequently. These envelopes or boxes should not be handled by the instructor until after the final grades have been sent to the Registrar's Office.

All sealed boxes/envelopes are to be returned to the department. The department will process the forms, tabulate statistics, and retain the forms in a secured area. Forms are NOT to be returned to the instructor until after the final grading period.

Departments are encouraged to preserve forms in a secure archive. It is important to remember that these are CONFIDENTIAL records.

It is the intent of the Arts & Sciences faculty vote to provide the T.C.U. with each course's aggregate statistics for the purposes of a school-wide student course booklet. Access to the written comments on each form is up to the discretion of the individual department and instructor.

Please list the Correct Number and Section for your course on the black/white board. If forms are filled out in the classroom, it is preferable that the instructor be absent for a reasonable length of time.

MULTIPLE INSTRUCTOR COURSES: Please assign numbers (5-1) to each instructor and list this information on the board. The information will be needed in order to identify the instructor in Section A.1.
