"Evaluating Your Performance in the Classroom How Am I Doing?" Wednesday, April 30, 3:30 pm -- Burnham Hall Room B10 Teaching evaluations can provide useful feedback to improve your instructional capabilities, and can affect your academic career in many ways. What are the mechanisms and considerations by which teaching is evaluated? What can you do to garner higher teaching evaluations? Are current mechanisms of instructional assessment at UIC adequate? What changes might be made to improve the assessment process? Please join Michael Michela of the UIC Teaching and Learning Center and Andrew Cooper from the Center for the Advancement of Distance Education for an interactive discussion of these issues. Topics will include assessment vs. evaluation, formative vs. summative evaluation, classroom assessment exercises, the current SIT evaluation tool, and the strengths and weaknesses of online course evaluation mechanisms. This workshop is open to all faculty and graduate students concerned about effective teaching methods, and qualifies as an accredited seminar for individuals in the College Teaching Preparation Program. No RSVPs are necessary. Questions about the program should be directed to Robert Paul Malchow, Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs, at paulmalc@uic.edu.
