E-CUE AY 2002-03 Project: Pilot Subject Evaluation Form with Focus on Teaching and Learning

In AY 2002-03, E-CUE worked to ensure development and dissemination of a new subject evaluation survey with a greater focus on teaching and learning. This effort was in response to:

  • In AY 2001-02, Provost encouraged development of standardized tools for teaching quality measurement.
  • In Fall 2001, SoE changed Faculty Personnel Record (FPR) to include numerical teaching quality data from student subject evaluation surveys.
  • New emphasis on teaching quality, as reflected in revised FPR, led to need for improved teaching quality data.

A pilot instrument, developed by the School’s education staff and the DUE, was critiqued by E-CUE prior to its distribution for pilot testing in SoE departments. The smooth piloting and acceptance of the new form by departments was ensured by E-CUE support. The creation of a new scannable form and system testing were completed in Spring 2004. Full-scale implementation will be complete in Fall 2004.

The results of the pilot tests in Fall 2002 and Spring 2003 are below:
