How do other universities handle teaching evaluations? Join us for a guided tour of examples. The instruments in use can be blunt or overly complex. Practices include home-grown surveys, national instruments such as IDEA, focus groups, interviews, faculty self-evaluations, inter-faculty sharing, narrative analysis, and student-led crowd-sourcing. How do different organizations navigate the options? We will discuss current trends in assessment of teaching effectiveness and highlight ideas that may be transferable to Harvard.
