Gslisadjuncts Fwd: [QCsenate 0027] Student Evaluations Continue
Dear Colleagues, I strongly encourage our students to participate in the online course evaluations referenced below, and ask that our faculty also reinforce this message. It was noted in our recent report from the visiting External Review Panel that our department consistently has completion rates above 50%, which often has ranked within the top five departments or units on campus, and always within the top 12. This is a very important measure for assessing the quality of our courses and our faculty, and will continue to be monitored during future re-accreditation reviews. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated!! cp Begin forwarded message:

Dear Senators, Alternates, Ex-officio Members, and Guests,
We have gotten off to a good start with the online evaluations this year, with more than 9000 completed so far. Evaluations started on November 17, and will continue through Thursday, December 15.
Please take the time to encourage students to contribute evaluations for all of the courses they're taking. These evaluations (the comments in particular) are useful in assessing the impact of faculty teaching, and are also part of the supporting materials used for purposes of reappointment, tenure, and promotion. They are also used by students to make decisions about what courses to take. Students who complete all their evaluations will receive $15 credit for printing on their QCard.
Students should go to http://www.qc.cuny.edu/evaluate
For more information about where to view data and comments from previous semesters, to keep track of this semester's response rate, and to learn about the incentives students get for evaluating their courses, go to http://qc.cuny.edu/?id=M5VB.
We now have an online response tracker, which provides current information on response rates by department, at http://www.qc.cuny.edu/Academics/SupportPrograms/CTL/Projects/Pages/fall2011...
Thank you for your assistance, Dean Savage, Committee on Teaching Excellence and Evaluation Eva Fernandez, Center for Teaching and Learning
