Save the date! End-of Course Evaluation Workshop

We all do them, but are we getting the most out of them?  End of course evaluations are a fixture at every university.  How can they best be used to improve individual teaching, course curricula and academic programs?  The assessment committee and UCET are sponsoring a workshop this spring to explore this topic.  It will be led by a group from IUPUI who have been examining course evaluations and presenting their findings at conferences and individualized workshops.  If you are interested in joining us, save the afternoon of April 2nd . 

Electronic  Portfolios for Assessment
The workshop on Electronic Portfolios for Assessment last April 10 introduced the many ways in which academic programs are using ePortfolios for assessment and other purposes.  The assessment committee is excited about the possibilities for this powerful tool, and plans to develop an e-port site in OnCourse to serve both as an example for the campus, and for organizing evaluations and reports.
