Evaluation Tips

The following helpful forms are taken from the Cornell University Center for Teaching and Learning. You are strongly encouraged to evaluate the effectiveness of your course often. We urge you to give your students Mid-Term Evaluations so that you may improve before the final semester evaluations (used for tenure and promotion) are given. We also urge you to have colleagues both inside and outside of your department evaluate you. If you would like to be evaluated by a colleague, please contact Shannon Holliday (shollida@shepherd.edu or 5461) at the Center for Teaching and Learning, let her know the time and location of your class and she will schedule this.

The Mid-Term Evaluation Form is a questionnaire you can give your students mid-semester to get a sense of what components of your course are helping your students learn the most effectively.

The Observation Checklist is helpful if you want a colleague to observe you teach.

The Teaching Feedback Form is designed to be part of a peer evaluation of teaching process. It can help provide consistency and structure to pre-observation meetings, guide the observer in how to observe effectively, and how to provide constructive feedback after the classroom observation.
