Thank you to all the instructors who
completed the instructor survey last term. The survey was sent to the
260 instructors teaching Fall II, 2003, with 68 instructors responding.
Seventeen instructors did not receive their survey, because their global
IDs were not activated. As a reminder, instructors will no longer
receive their student end-of-course reports (or results from the
instructor survey) in the mail and must activate their global IDs in
order to read/print them off of the Web. Reports can be accessed through
the login link on the Faculty Resource Center Home page located at:
www.cel.cmich.edu/faculty.
The instructor end-of-course survey will be
revised and be ready for production at the end of the Spring 2004 term
(Spring II for DDL). Instructors will receive a link to this survey
through their CMU e-mail address when their course ends. This link will
remain live until grades are posted to ISIS.
Plans call for the electronic survey to be
enhanced so that it prompts a response by instructors, evaluating their
effectiveness in terms of the Maximizing Learning principles and
responding to questions that are critical to services provided by CEL.
In addition, instructors will have an
opportunity to respond in narrative form about factors that improved or
hindered their ability to be effective in the classroom. All data
generated will be available through links on the Faculty Resource
Center. Other data regarding support services and overall satisfaction
will be gathered once a year in an additional Web survey.
Instructors are encouraged to use this
opportunity to provide additional information about their courses.
Instructors will be able to use this data for formative purposes and as
supporting material in the three-year approval process. Administrators
will be able to view this data to gain a better understanding of what
happened in the course. The instructor survey functions as the second
source in the Faculty Assessment Battery. If you have any questions,
please e-mail the Faculty Resource Center at
FRC@cmich.edu.
