TEVAL Faculty Information Form

 

To the Course Instructor:

No TEVAL Report can be processed without a completed Faculty Information Form (FIF). The correct coding of the FIF is your responsibility, and one must be completed for each class. Do NOT fold or staple the Faculty Information Form. For timely processing of the TEVAL Report, the FIF must be sent to the Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning along with the student survey forms.

Responses to items A-L (listed below) are included in the TEVAL Report in Part I: Instructor's Description of Class as an optional section. If you decide to answer items A-L, mark your responses in the box at the lower left corner of the FIF. If you do not answer these items, Part I will be left blank on your Report.

NOTE: Select only one response per item, with the exception of Item A.
