Reporting results of evaluation- For all instructors
How, when and to whom?
|
Logon to Blackboard like you do for your classes and in your course list you will see "International Languages Department". Open it, choose your language and the level you are teaching and complete the survey by Friday, May 30th. Your report will be completely anonymous; I will not be able to see what you have submitted, only a check mark will appear next to the names of the people who have submitted their results.
To those of you who are the only ones who teach a particular class, let me assure you that the instructor is NOT being assessed!! How we do things as a department is. It is understood that how your students perform on these outcomes has to do with many many variables, some of which are out of the instructor's control. My hope is that the assessment process will help us to find ways to minimize the effect (on student performance) of those variables that we cannot control.
Finally, it is crucial that everyone use the updated rubrics provided/generated by the department in order to get as accurate results as possible. Please view/print them. They are on the Blackboard site as well.
(If you teach more than one section of the same level, please combine your numbers.
