Course Perceptions Surveys serve as an important tool and source of information for faculty members assessing their teaching effectiveness. They may also be considered as a part of the evidence reviewed in reappointment, promotion, and tenure portfolios.听
Course Perception Surveys are created for every course except student teaching, internship programs, field experiences, and independent study courses. Courses with enrollment of less than 6 will not be sent to protect student confidentiality.听 Instructors are evaluated regardless of their tenure status. All instructors will receive an email in the beginning of the semester including a list of their courses which will receive Course Perception Surveys for that semester and the dates that the survey will run for each course.
All Course Perception Surveys must be completed before the end of the course and will听end at 11:59 P.M. on the end date听listed on the听Calendar. Course Perception Surveys are conducted at the end of each regular class, including 5-week, Bi-term, and semester long courses.
All Course Perception Surveys are administered online via Qualtrics Survey Software and distributed via invitation emails which are sent to each student's "@eagles.usi.edu" 91社区 email address.
