  1. Let me say a word about course evaluations Colonel Floyd H. Duncan Department Chairman

  2. Course Evaluations • I am asking every member of the department to play this slide presentation prior to the section marcher handing out the evaluation forms. • Please give me your undivided attention for the next two minutes.

  3. Course Evaluations • The reason we have course evaluations is to get feedback for “continuous improvement.” • Unfortunately, in the past, many cadets have seen these as an opportunity to get even with some faculty member who “gave” them a low grade, or maybe called them to task when they got up in the middle of class and walked out. • The faculty does not give low grades—sometimes cadets fail to earn high grades!

  4. Course Evaluations • Many cadets simply go zip, zip, zip through the multiple choice, then write nothing, or else take a cheap shot in the comments. • Even the good comments are sometimes useless. Saying, “He held review sessions,” is meaningless. • Please be thoughtful in your comments. • Your goal should be to give us information that will improve the course, the curriculum, or the quality of instruction.

  5. Course Evaluations • So what do I want you to do? • I want you to take the evaluations seriously. • You can be critical, but you must be fair. • Frankly, I will ignore any evaluations that make personal attacks. • Good luck on your exams, and I look forward to seeing all of you back after the break.

  6. Section Marcher, You may begin.
