Teaching Feedback and Evaluation: What’s New, What’s Coming, and What it Means for You
Wednesday, February 12, 2025
8:30 – 10:00 am via Zoom
Our campus is moving towards a vision for teaching feedback and evaluation that is focused on helping course instructors improve their teaching through sharing of best practices, encouraging experimentation, identifying needs, and mobilizing resources to meet those needs. In other words, teaching feedback and evaluation should do more than provide documents for a promotion or tenure decision. In this online interactive discussion learn about the coming changes to teaching feedback and evaluation and how to make them work for you.
Session Facilitator: Geoffrey Herman, Provost Fellow and Teaching Professor, Siebel School of Computing and Data Science
Who should attend? Assistant Professors and Associate Professors (tenure-stream and specialized faculty). We also welcome senior faculty colleagues and department executive officers.
Please register for Teaching Feedback and Evaluation by 5:00 PM on Friday, February 7th. A Zoom link will be sent to registered participants on Monday, February 10th.
This workshop will be recorded and added here within 24-48 hours after it concludes.
