Student Evaluation of Instruction

This final report covers the evaluation of 292 class sections across various departments with 5,016 students. A total of 9,710 evaluations were sent out, with 6,855 submissions (~71% response rate). The SEI reports format remains similar to the original, with breakdowns by instructor, faculty aggregate, department overall, and in PDF format. Students receive email prompts for course evaluations, with a set of standard questions. Departments can customize questionnaires and have options for additional questions. Moving forward, an SEI data purge guideline is needed, along with ongoing training and collaboration for system improvement.

  1. Student Evaluation of Instruction Final Report

  2. Project Timeline

  3. Spring 2012 Pilot Outcome • 292 class sections (from various departments that participated: Econ, Math, Psych, Sociology, etc.) • 5,016 students • 9,710 evaluations were sent out and 6,855 were submitted by students (~71% response rate)

  4. SEI Reports Format • Similar to the original format • Same scoring method (fractional median). • Reports are broken down by • Instructor/class/section • Ranked faculty aggregate • IAS aggregate • Department overall • PDF format • Departments can choose to email or print

  5. Notify Student • An email will be sent to all enrolled students for each class.

  6. Course Evaluations • Once logged in, the student will see a summary of all classes awaiting evaluation.

  7. Timing? • Students will receive the first email prompt at the start of the 13th week for 14 week courses • Class End Date is used when calculating SEI start/end dates for 7 week classes. • Dynamic session class dates are set manually. • Two reminders will be sent. • The process will occur over 10 days.

  8. What the student will see after clicking on an individual course

  9. Setup & Administration • The standard set of six questions approved by Faculty Senate is fixed for all questionnaires.

  10. Setup & Administration • Additional “evaluation” templates can be created. • Department chairs can create a questionnaire that incorporates the standard questions + additional questions defined by the department.

  11. Setup & Administration • Adding a question to the repository • Supported question types: • 5 point rating (Strongly Agree  Strongly Disagree) • Open ended • Multiple Choice

  12. Setup & Administration • The standard SEI will automatically be generated for each course. • Chairs will be able to assign a different questionnaire template • If the department has additional questions they ask of each class • If the department has a subsection of classes that receive a different questionnaire (e.g., lab courses) • Chairs may also remove the SEI from courses that should not be assessed (e.g. independent studies).

  13. Moving Forward • ITS needs a documented guideline that will outline how often the SEI data should be purged from the university system • ITS will need to have an SEI user group possibly made up of ADAs and Department Chairs : • Ongoing training and knowledge sharing • Works with ITS to improve the SEI system, if needed
