Summary

This article is intended for SEL Coordinators. This article describes why a course may not be evaluated and how to update the criteria appropriately.

How-To

Evaluate Yes/No

Why is this important?

Some courses will not be evaluated. This depends much on the department's policy and course enrollment.  Courses that do not meet the minimum of 6 students in the course will automatically be set to Evaluate = No.   Courses that are marked as internship or thesis/dissertation for example do not meet the criteria for student experiences, decisions about whether or not students within a course will be invited to evaluate may be made by the department. In most cases the type of course and the enrollment number would be counter to protecting anonymity. This video will explain why and how this step is done. Courses that have not been cross-listed and have not met the enrollment criteria of 6 students will not be evaluated. Although many courses have been updated with the appropriate value it is important to make sure that these values match what is expected.
