CourseEvalUM (https://CourseEvalUM.umd.edu) is open now through Friday, May 10, for you to submit online evaluations of your courses. Providing your constructive, thoughtful, and specific feedback is an important responsibility you hold as a member of our academic community. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. We are fortunate that most Maryland students submit all of their evaluations.
* Your constructive, specific feedback helps improve teaching and learning at Maryland. Results are used for course improvement, promotion and tenure decisions, as well as in determining who teaches what courses.
* Completing each of your evaluations should take you no
more than about five minutes.
* Information submitted to CourseEvalUM is confidential
so that instructors and college administrators can view only numeric summaries
of evaluations for each course, without attributing responses to you. They also see all text comments exactly as
submitted. Results are not released
until after the official grade submission deadline.
* By submitting all of your evaluations through
CourseEvalUM, you will be able to access at the URL above the searchable
student-view summary reports for courses with at least a 70% submission rate
once they are posted in June. See
example report: https://www.irpa.umd.edu/Assessment/CourseEval/sample_student_report.pdf
* Please note that course sections with fewer than five
students enrolled are excluded from the CourseEvalUM process for
confidentiality reasons. Courses considered
Individual Instruction (e.g., internships, student teaching) and those marked
as No Evaluation by the scheduling unit are also excluded.
More information is available at CourseEvalUM (https://CourseEvalUM.umd.edu) to assist
you in this process (see Frequently Asked Questions, left at URL above).
Many thanks for your support of this important effort!
