Course Evaluations

Do you wish you could use student evaluations that:

• Consider what you are trying to teach?
• Allow you to write some of the questions?
• Are nationally normed?
• Compare your classes with courses of the same size and difficulty and with the same level of student motivation, effort, and work habits?
• Contain a special diagnostic section that specifically suggests what you might do to improve the amount of learning in the course?
• Are confidential—between just you and the students?

If so, consider using the IDEA Evaluation from Kansas State University. This instrument has been used since the 1970s by hundreds of campuses across the country. It is updated and maintained by a staff of nine full-time workers.

Each semester, the Teaching Academy will pay for the first 25 NMSU instructors who would like to use this instrument to evaluate a class. This offer is open to all instructors at NMSU (faculty, adjunct faculty, and teaching assistants on all five campuses).

Be one of the first 25 to register at the Teaching Academy website by October 1 or March 1 in any given year.
