I believe I made a mistake on the date that I 
need your responses.  PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF YOU 
WILL BE UTILIZING IEVAL NO LATER THAN MAY 12, 2008.

Thank you.

>Dear Faculty:
>
>The Office of Instructional Development is 
>pleased to offer iEVAL as an option for the 
>Spring 2008 course evaluations.  iEVAL uses the 
>same questions as the UCR Faculty Instruction 
>Evaluation Form and can provide final results as 
>early as the first day of instruction of the 
>following quarter (Monday, June 23, 2008).
>
>iEVAL will be available to students starting 
>Wednesday May 28 – Midnight on Sunday, June 8.
>
>Benefits to iEVAL are:
>1)  Students can respond at any time thus freeing your class time
>2)  You don’t need to worry about getting 
>evaluation forms from your department, finding a 
>volunteer to administer the evaluations, and 
>hoping that all the evaluations make it to the 
>Office of Instructional Development for processing
>3)  Final Course Evaluation Reports for Spring 
>2008 will be available to faculty on iEVAL on 
>the first day of instruction of the following 
>quarter (June 23, 2008), paper evaluations will 
>not be available until the end of AUGUST 2008
>4)  Students provide more indepth comments and 
>behave more maturely than in the paper format 
>(online comments require minimal to no editing 
>for profanity and inappropriate comments)
>5)  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
>6)  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.
>
>To participate in iEVAL please send your name, 
>course, faculty ID, and net ID (this can be 
>found at 
><http://enterprisedirectory.ucr.edu/phone/tel_search.show>http://enterprisedirectory.ucr.edu/phone/tel_search.show 
>) to your department representative or you can 
>select your preferred method of evaluation at 
><http://www.ieval.ucr.edu/>www.ieval.ucr.edu 
>.  Faculty who have used iEVAL as of Fall 2007 
>will default to iEVAL, and will not need to do 
>anything to sign up.  Instructional Development 
>will send you an e-mail confirming your 
>participation and the courses that will be 
>evaluated on iEVAL one week before the system 
>becomes available to the students.   Final 
>results of iEVAL will be available to you on Monday, June 23, 2008.
>
>   PLEASE REMEMBER TO SIGN UP FOR iEVAL BY FRIDAY, MAY 16, 2008.
