FOR ADVISORS’ INFORMATION: Your feedback is needed on the new Course Evaluation Website by 11/27!
Dear Academic Advisors,
Hope this email finds you well!
Your thoughts and input are needed regarding a new initiative out of the Office of the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs (OVPFA).
A few years ago, UIC’s Student Government requested that an official resource be developed that shared results from the Student Evaluation of Teaching Program or Course Evaluations. This resource would serve a similar function as the “Rate My Professor” website yet service only UIC users and include a standardized set of questions.
As a response, OVPFA and ACCC teamed up to develop a website that publishes results for all courses using the same 5 survey items with the exception of the following courses:
- Due to FERPA laws, no instructors who are also enrolled as students at UIC will be published (e.g. TA’s, adjunct, etc.)
- Any course with less than 10 respondents
At your earliest convenience, please take a look at the website and let me know your thoughts and suggestions for how to frame this resource to the students. Please provide feedback no later than Tuesday November 27th. Our aim is to have the website shared with the students on Thursday December 13th (after the Fall 2018 course evaluation period closes).
When accessing the site, you will need to enter your UIC netid and password.

Thank you so much for your time and attention!
Kind regards,
