TEVAL is available in both a paper version and an electronic version, and the procedures for using TEVAL are different, depending upon which version you elect to use. The one-page core TEVAL Report is the same for both versions.
The TEVAL Student Rating System and Reports at Kansas State University are unique to our university and are intended to provide an indicator of students' impressions of your effectiveness in teaching a given class. It may also provide some clues as to your students’ views of specific teaching practices.
To facilitate a more accurate interpretation of the results, the TEVAL Report also summarizes some information that you may have provided about your students and your teaching context when you complete the TEVAL Faculty Information Form.
TEVAL Reports are confidential.
An example of the TEVAL Report format ... if you used the paper version. When additional questions are used, a second sheet of item averages and frequency distributions is generated. Student narrative comments are returned on the paper survey forms.
A report for the electronic version will be exactly the same for the first page. However, the report for the electronic version will include much more complete information when additional questions are used, and student narrative comments also will be printed in the report pages.
