>Listed below is a sample e-mail that you may wish to use to convey 
>the iEVAL option to your faculty:
>
>Dear Faculty:
>
>The Office of Instructional Development is pleased to offer iEVAL as 
>an option for the Winter 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 (March 31,2008).
>
>Benefits to iEVAL are:
>1)  Students can respond at any time thus freeing your class time
>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 (March 31, 2008), paper evaluations will not be 
>available until the end of May 2008
>3)  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)
>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
>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.
>
>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:
>Courses with enrollments over 100=44%
>
>Courses with enrollments over 200= 39%
>
>Courses with enrollments over 300= 43%
>
>Courses with enrollments over 400=43%
>
>If you have any questions please contact 
><mailto:gladis at ucr.edu>gladis at ucr.edu.  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 
>.  Evaluations will be made available to your students during week 
>March 5-16, and the results will be available to you on the first 
>day of instruction for Spring 2008 (March 31, 2008).

>Thank you for your assistance.
