Course evaluations

Courses are evaluated at the end of the semester, and evaluations are then used to help improve the next offering of the course.

The questions within the evaluations are developed by departments.

The evaluations can be collected from individual students either

on paper to be collated and analyzed by hand
on bubble sheets to be scanned and then analyzed by computer
on web-based online forms to be analyzed by computer

To use either bubble sheets or web-based forms see information on scanners and related software.

References (selected by Walter Mullen):

NC State University maintains a great overall site for assessment links, and the links are well maintained.

The various AACU publications and resources fit well with many of Quinnipiac's overall general education objectives, and I find this site to be a very useful reference.

This one page summary of why assessment is important as an instructor in courses, is very good....

and this is a good general guide to building a rubric...

... and UMass has published for a more detailed guide for course assessment.
