How often were the following used in this class? Lecture, in-class exercises, test and quizzes.
How often was the textbook used as part of this course?
How often did the instructor cancel class?
"The evaluations are helpful for me as faculty because I look at different areas where students liked and disliked my classes, and make modifications from there," said Tyler Smith, communications faculty at SLCC.
One problem that the evaluations might run into is that they will no longer be done in class. While this will save class time, it will be left up to the student to do the evaluations on their own time.
"I will for sure. I have ran into some nasty teachers that I think if they had better evaluations, maybe I wouldn't have run to them or they could have had the opportunity to improve," said James.
"Yeah, I would rather do it online anyways," said Kristi Wayman, SLCC student.
Some evaluations will still be done with the hard copy, but for most classes they will be online.
The evaluations will start on Nov. 30 and will end before finals. Prizes will be given out to random students who take part in this evaluation this semester.
