Evaluating courses and instruction at the end of each semester is a very important task at UTPA. The data gathered from this survey are invaluable to faculty, students, and administrators:
- Faculty review the feedback to improve their courses and teaching methods
- Students use course evaluation results to aide in course selection
- Course evaluation data inform academic administrators’ and university committees’ decisions about courses to offer, faculty reappointment, tenure, and promotion
Evaluation effectiveness and the rate of response largely depends on student and faculty participation. Please take a few moments to learn more about this system and its impact on the university. Rest assured that your evaluation matters and will remain anonymous!
