Call for Content Experts to Assist with Student Course Evaluation Questions Revision

The Student Course Evaluation Workgroup needs your help. We need 50 experienced faculty, some from each Area of Study (AoS), who understand the breadth of the college’s course offerings to serve as content experts.

Those willing to help will complete a survey of questions, suggesting additions and edits to ensure that the questions are actionable, valid, as free as possible from bias, and measure the correct aspect of teaching. We anticipate it may take up to 8 to 10 hours to complete the survey. 

About the Revising Process

The questions being reviewed are for the first round of course evaluation revisions, lecture courses (F-2-F, ONL, HYD, HYC, DLS, FLX). In Spring 2024, we’ll begin to develop and vet questions for our other teaching modalities like labs, practicums, and clinicals.

Office of Institutional Research and Analytics (OIRA) has assisted the Workgroup in developing a process that includes student feedback and more extensive piloting of the questions in late fall and early spring. 

Please feel free to send this request to any faculty member you think might be interested. Adjuncts will be compensated for their work.
