TEVAL is available in both a paper version and an electronic version.  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.  TEVAL Reports are confidential.  

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.

Use the links below to explore information about the TEVAL System.   Some of the links are to pdf files of the actual forms and information documents.

 

The TEVAL Report

will be exactly the same; but the report for the electronic version will include much more complete information if additional questions are used, and student narrative comments will be included in the report pages.]
