RE: Teaching Evaluations

Ken,

Stanford has a common end-of-quarter evaluation form for almost all schools.
You can find some information at http://ctl.stanford.edu/interpret.pdf

End-of-quarter evaluations are mandatory, and starting this quarter they are
administered online. Midterm evaluations are voluntary and can take several
forms. For more information, check
http://ctl.stanford.edu/Faculty/evals_fac.html In my opinion, the process
works quite well at Stanford. We'll see how the online evals affect it!

Peer evaluations are not common at Stanford.

Best,

Marcelo

Speaking of teaching evaluations, how is your teaching (and/or that of
colleagues who are not yet tenured) evaluated? Do you have a common form for
your campus? Does your department or university do peer evaluations?
Do you believe that the process works well at your school?

Thanks,
