SP 07-19 - Student Ratings Form

Intent: To approve the SRT instrument so that procedures for its administration can be developed. The instrument will be piloted in selected classes in Fall 2008. In Spring 2009 the Senate should have enough information to make an informed decision whether it wishes to adopt the SRT instrument for official personnel use.

Background: Much interest has been shown and much work has been done in efforts to identify a new student ratings of teaching form for use at CSUCI. Per SP 07-12 a new SRT instrument needs to be approved, and procedures for its administration and data reporting need to be developed by the Faculty Affairs Committee and approved by the Senate. This policy would allow for procedures for piloting purposes of an approved instrument be developed, as well as pilot data using the instrument be collected.

Applicability: All faculty at CSU Channel Islands

Policy:
To approve the student ratings of teaching instrument for piloting purposes. This instrument will not be used in the official evaluation of faculty.
