Mid-Quarter Evaluations
Mid-quarter evaluations are sent to students halfway through the quarter to evaluate all first time Writers’ Program instructors as well as all instructors who are teaching new courses. The mid-quarter evaluation is designed to give new instructors feedback and to identify possible strengths or weaknesses that need to be addressed while class is still in session.

Mid-term evaluations will be sent to online students by email. A courier will deliver evaluations to onsite classrooms. Please step out of the classroom for 10 minutes or so to allow students time to fill out the evaluations honestly and without fear of retribution. Designate one student to collect the forms and place them in an envelope before you return to the room. The courier will return to the classroom at the end of class to collect the envelope. Please do not review them or take them with you. Your Rep will notify you promptly to discuss the results.

End-Quarter Evaluations
At the completion of your course, end-quarter evaluations will be emailed to each student via the EvaluationKit system.

All instructors will receive a personalized link in order to access the system and view their evaluation results. The scores will also be reported to your Program Rep. These results are computed on a range of 0-9, with 9 being the highest score.

Please note that evaluation results will not be visible to you until you have entered all grades for your course through the Instructor Portal.

Overview of the EvaluationKit Setup

Classes in EvaluationKit are separated into two different categories based on the length of the class.
- Class 30 days or less are in a short courses category.
- Classes that meet for more than 30 days are in a standard category.
The evaluation period for short courses starts the day after the course is completed and continues for the next 8 days.
The evaluation period for standard courses starts 8 days before the class ends and continues for the next 16 days.
Students will receive an email with a link to their evaluation on the day that the evaluation period begins. If the student has not filled out the survey within 5 days, he or she will receive a reminder email.
Instructors will receive an email 2 days before the evaluation period begins with a reminder to notify students to fill out the evaluation.
At the end of the evaluation period, instructors will receive an email with a link to access the survey results. Please note: Instructors cannot view the survey results until 1 day after all of their grades have been submitted and the survey period is complete.
