The analysis of the returns from the student evaluation of faculty survey for spring semester 1997 has been completed. Faculty in Package B in the following Colleges/Schools were scheduled to be rated this semester: Agriculture & Natural Resources, Business Admin., Education, Engineering, Family Studies, Fine Arts, Extended & Continuing Ed., & the Regional Campuses. Also included are requested departments/faculty from Package A.
The following tables present the University-wide results of the survey. Based on total student enrollment of the rating package, the student response rate was 65%. The course response rate was 89%. Since the measurement of scales has been expanded from 5 to 10 point scales (1 indicates "Unacceptable" and 10 represents "Outstanding"), direct comparisons between these tables and those prior to fall of 1990 should be avoided.
