Dear Winter 2007 Instructors:<br>
<br>
This is a reminder that the deadline to sign up to have your course(s)
evaluated through iEVAL is <b>Friday, February 22</b>. Please sign
up through your department or you can select your mode of evaluation at
<a href="http://www.ieval.ucr.edu/">www.ieval.ucr.edu</a> .
You will need to provide your name, employee ID, course(s), net ID (this
can be found at
<a href="http://enterprisedirectory.ucr.edu/phone/Tel_Search.show">
http://enterprisedirectory.ucr.edu/phone/Tel_Search.show</a> )<br>
<br>
Instructional Development will send all instructors who signed up to use
iEVAL a message confirming the courses that are scheduled to use iEVAL,
instructions on how iEVAL will work, and the dates that the system will
be available to the students. </font><font size=4>Evaluations will
be made available to your students during week <b>March 5-16</b>, and the
results will be available to you on the first day of instruction for
Spring 2008 (<b>March 31, 2008</b>).<br><br>
</font><font face="Times New Roman, Times" size=4><i>Benefits to iEVAL
are:<br>
1) Students can respond at any time thus freeing your class
time<br>
2) Final Course Evaluation Reports for Winter 2008 will be
available to faculty on iEVAL on the first day of instruction of the
following quarter (<b>March 31, 2008</b>), paper evaluations will not be
available until the end of May 2008<br>
3) Students provide more in-depth comments and behave more maturely
than in the paper format (online comments require minimal to no editing
for profanity and inappropriate comments)<br>
4) In reviewing past course evaluation for faculty participants the
ratings remained consistent with their historical results. The
response rates are lower than the paper evaluation but we are working on
improving this by developing creative ways of encouraging and advertising
iEVAL to the students<br>
5) iEVAL is environmentally friendly. Each quarter we process
over 30,000 paper evaluations and print over 1,500 final reports that are
distributed to faculty and department chairs. iEVAL can be
processed and viewed online. The system also archives evaluations
dating back to Winter 2005, providing quick and easy access to these
important records.<br><br>
As of Fall 2007 27% of UCR courses selected to use iEVAL. The
overall response rate is 49%. The average response rate for large
courses is as follows:<br>
Courses with enrollments over 100=44%<br>
<br>
Courses with enrollments over 200= 39%<br>
<br>
Courses with enrollments over 300= 43%<br>
<br>
Courses with enrollments over 400=43%<br>
