Surveys Scheduled
for Week of Nov. 15
University Course/Instructor
Surveys will be administered Nov.
15-19. Approximately half of the
faculty will be surveyed at this time.
The other half will be surveyed in the
spring 1983 semester.
In the classes surveyed, each student will be requested to complete
two surveys -- the Purdue
Course/Instructor Survey which has
been in use since 1 978 and the Trial
Survey. Results from the Trial
Survey will be examined only to
determine whether the proposed instrument is superior to the present
one. Only the results of the Purdue
Survey will be used to collect student perceptions of teaching to be
included   in  the  faculty  evaluation
process.
Faculty members will administer
the surveys; however, instructors of
surveyed classes will not be present
nor will they be involved in the administration of the surveys to the
classes they teach.
