$39.00 – $697.00
At most institutions, faculty participate in some sort of annual review.
A discussion of student evaluations is usually part of these conversations, and they aren’t always easy interactions. Sometimes the issue is the rating results—they aren’t high enough, maybe they dropped in one course, perhaps they have stayed the same for some time, or maybe there is some question about why they’re so high. Sometimes it’s what the academic leader concludes about the teaching based on a few negative student comments, or it could be the action the department chair recommends. And sometimes, it’s the faculty member who doesn’t know what to say or becomes defensive.
Talking about Student Evaluation Results with Academic Leaders: What to Say and How to Say It, a Magna Online Seminar led by Maryellen Weimer, PhD and Jon Hess, PhD, where we explore ways to communicate about rating results using three scenarios based on common situations, with the goal of making the exchange a constructive conversation about teaching and learning.
