What changes were made to evaluations for spring 2020?

With the support of the directors of undergraduate studies, the Yale College Committee on Teaching and Learning, the Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning, and the University Registrar’s Office, and for spring 2020 only, a modified set of questions has been used, which clearly separates evaluations for the period conducted on campus from the period conducted remotely.

How do I view question answers within the Faculty Dashboard?

From the course Summary page (Select a Course > Summary), click on the question row to view the narrative or numeric responses to the question. 

Narrative questions will display “Narrative” under the response column.  Numeric questions will display a histogram under the response column.  Hover over the narrative link or chart to view the response counts.

How do I select a course within the Faculty Dashboard?

Once logged in via Yale’s central authentication service (CAS), the faculty dashboard will default to the instructors’ courses and the current term.  Course evaluations are searchable by term, instructor name and/or teaching fellow, subject and course number.

Term:

More than one term can be selected if an instructor is selected.  If an instructor is not selected, only one term can be selected at a time.

Instructor:

Will my teaching fellow(s) be evaluated?

The online course evaluation includes two questions pertaining to teaching fellows; questions 11 and 12. All teaching fellows who are recorded as TFs in Banner for an eligible course will be able to view their completed evaluation responses online through the same web-based application used by the faculty, the OCE Faculty Dashboard. Teaching fellows can view evaluation responses to questions 1-9 as well as their individual evaluation responses from questions 11 and 12.

How and when can I expect to see the results of the evaluation?

At the end of each academic term, and once the evaluation submission deadline for students has passed, the University Registrar’s Office will send notification via e-mail to departmental chairs and faculty to announce that evaluations are available for viewing. This email will include a link to the University Registrar’s OCE web page. This page contains OCE FAQs, viewer links, viewer guides and important calendar dates for the OCE system and evaluation process.

I have always used a paper form of my own design. Can I continue to use it?

Individual course instructors may use their own hard-copy evaluation forms if they wish. This, however, will not exempt the students who are enrolled in these courses from evaluating them on line. Online evaluation will be required of all Yale College students who are enrolled in Yale College courses, regardless of whether their instructors have chosen to augment the online evaluations with their own paper evaluation forms.
