Student Assessment/Evaluation Policy
This evaluation
provides one method for evaluating the teaching component of the
learning environment. The questions were selected to provide
information for a faculty member to create a better learning
environment and to become a better teacher. The student evaluation:
- Allows students the opportunity to express their opinions about the quality of instruction at RCIT.
- Contributes to an instructor’s evaluation, specifically for the instructor’s self-improvement.
- Reveals instructional strengths and weaknesses.
- Creates feedback about instruction for faculty.
Evaluations
are required for full and part-time faculty. All courses for each
instructor will be evaluated once a year. Also, all new classes
beginning will have the opportunity to evaluate their instructor.
We,
the college, feel that the evaluations will help with identifying
problems. Students are made aware of the purpose behind the evaluation
process and it is the student’s responsibility to make sure their
evaluation gets back to the main reception area.
All of the
evaluations are anonymous and the students are given a minimum of 10
minutes to complete their evaluation. The instructors are not to be
shown any results until the grades have been completed.
Instructors
can be given photocopies of the written comments, if requested. However, the multiple choice part of the evaluation will only be shown
to the instructors in the form of a final analysis.
