>Dear Faculty:
>
>We are pleased to share with you that the Office 
>of Instructional Development has set up a site 
>where you can sign up for your preferred method 
>of course evaluation.  Faculty have the option 
>of choosing paper or online (iEVAL).  This site 
>will also provide a listing of courses that are 
>to be evaluated for the quarter.  Faculty can 
>select to have all courses use one method or 
>only select some to be online and others on 
>paper.  If you have previously used iEVAL in the 
>past you are automatically enrolled to use it 
>the next time you teach, if you prefer to change 
>this default you can do so.  In addition, this 
>site will also allow faculty to access past course evaluations.
>
>Benefits to using iEVAL include:
>1)  Students can respond at any time thus freeing class time
>2)  iEVAL final course evaluation reports are 
>available to faculty on the first day of 
>instruction of the following quarter.  Paper 
>evaluations take much longer to process, usually 10 weeks.
>3)  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.
>4)  Students provide more constructive comments 
>and behave more maturely than in the paper 
>format. As an example online comments require 
>minimal to no editing for profanity and 
>inappropriate comments as compared to paper comments.
>5)  Faculty have found that by making in class 
>announcements they are able to increase their response rate.
>6)  OID will provide periodic updates on 
>response rates, faculty can also access this information online.
>
>Faculty can sign up for iEVAL at 
><http://www.ieval.ucr.edu/>www.ieval.ucr.edu 
>To log on faculty will be asked for their User 
>Name (this can be found at 
><http://ucrtel.ucr.edu/ucrtel/telsearch.htm>http://ucrtel.ucr.edu/ucrtel/telsearch.htm 
>) and Password (this is the same password that 
>is used to log in to the UCR webmail).
>
>
>The site is available for changes starting on 
>Monday, October 29, 2007 – Friday, November 9, 
>2007.  iEVAL will be made available to students 
>from Monday, November 19 – Sunday, December 2, 2007.

>If you have any questions please contact Dorothy
