| Decision Date: | 2010-12-17 |
| Decision: | The committee voted to forward its recommendations to the SEC for consideration. |
| Actions: | The committee reviewed the charge during the Fall 2010 semester. At its September 3, 2010, meeting the committee reviewed background history on this topic as provided by the Senate Office. It also researched peer institution procedures for course evaluations, off-campus course evaluation services, and potential legal concerns. During the course of its review, the APAS Committee read articles on the subject of teacher evaluations and consulted with members of the Office of Institutional Research Planning & Assessment (IRPA). Following deliberation, the APAS Committee voted, at its December 17, 2010, meeting, in favor of recommending that the CourseEvalUM system continue to undergo development with the guidance of a governing body that is formulated in a manner consistent with the principles of shared governance. The APAS Committee's report also outlined a number of specific subjects that warranted further attention, including the recommendation that more detailed consideration should be given to how CourseEvalUM could be modified to better satisfy student needs. Additionally, the APAS Committee strongly endorsed the urgency for the addition of unit-specific questions, including course-specific and instructor-specified questions to the CourseEvalUM system. |
