CVM Teaching Academy Teaching Toolkit Series: Getting More out of Your Student Evaluations

About the event

CVM Teaching Academy invites you to attend our next Teaching Tool Kit Series presented by Dr. Steve Hines titled: 

Getting More out of Your Student Evaluations: Mining Student Evaluation Comments for Improvements (& Your Promotion Packet)

 

Description: Student teaching evaluations, especially the anonymous comments, can be a frustrating and sometimes painful experience. In this session, we will talk about how to get more specific feedback, how to identify useful themes, and how to generate summary figures you can use in your promotion packet and/or annual review.
At least 1 day before you come , take a few minutes to read through your most recent course or instructor results – focusing on the narrative comments. Then get a good night’s sleep. Print off the responses to at least 2 questions ( e.g. strengths and potential areas for improvement ) and bring them to the session. You will use this as the starting point for a personal exercise. No one will ask you to share anything you don’t wish to share!

Our hope is that you will find these “mini-workshops” engaging, and come away with 1 or 2 take home lessons.
