Understanding Course Evaluations for Data-Informed Reflection

Course evaluations, also known as student ratings of instruction (SRI), are just one data point in a rich body of information that we can use to plan for future courses, but they are often the only direct evidence we have of our students’ satisfaction levels. This session will focus on understanding and analyzing the numerical and written feedback we get at the end of each semester, especially in terms of knowing what to do with that feedback while planning future courses. We will also explore creating first-day, mid-semester, and end-of-semester surveys using Qualtrics to collect other data throughout a course.

This workshop is intended for those who interact professionally (e.g., course instructor, advisor, student affairs staff member) with ISU’s students on a regular basis as part of their role on campus. That said, any employee interested in this topic is invited to register. Registration is required.

There is no stipend for this event.

This workshop falls under the AAC&U High-Impact Educational Practice of Diversity.
