Teacher evaluations to be conducted online

Teacher evaluations will be conducted online this semester, instead of in class. According to an email sent by Scott Bergstrom, Director of Institutional Research and Assessment, one or more of each students’ instructors will be evaluated this semester.

A link sent through Bergstrom’s email will take students to the website where the evaluation can be completed. After logging in with their student ID and password, students will be presented with a course or list of courses.

The evaluation will only take a couple of minutes, according to Bergstrom’s email, and the responses will be completely anonymous.

Results from the student evaluations will not be given to teachers until after this semester ends.

“They are invaluable to me as I plan for next semester. ,” said Melanie Landon-Hays, of the Teacher Education dept. “I’m always looking for ways to improve.”
