Last semester, I took part in a pilot of a new evaluation form that would allow us to compare ourselves, nationally, to other teachers of similar courses. These are the results from CIS 502:

					Gender:  		Male - 8	Female - 11
					Pass-Fail:  		No
					Expected Grade: 	A - 20		B - 1

				Overall			V.P.	Poor	Fair	Good	V.G.	Excellent	Mean
					Content:	0	0	0	10	9	3		4.62
					Instructor:	0	0	0	4	5	12		5.38
					Course:		0	0	1	10	7	3		4.57

				Subscale Ranking	Mean		IR	CL	D	C	N
					Attitude	3.35		60	50	80	80	70
					Method		3.01		60	50	80	70	60
					Content		2.94		40	30	80	60	50
					Interest	3.05		70	50	90	80	70
					Instructor	3.31		50	50	90	70	60

					TOTAL		3.14		50	40	90	70	60

				The following codes were computed in percentiles!
					IR-Instructor Rank
					CL=Class Level
					D=Department
					C=College
					N=Nation

There were three questions at the beginning of the survey, rating "course content", "instructor" and "course in general" from "excellent" to "very poor" on a 6-point scale. The other 21 questions used to create the subscales are shown below and were rated along the 4-point scale of "strongly agree", "agree", "disagree", "strongly disagree":

I would take another course that was taught this way.
The instructor seemed to be interested in students as individuals.
The course material was too difficult.
It was easy to remain attentive.

The course material seemed worthwhile.
The instructor did NOT synthesize, integrate or summarize effectively.
The course was quite interesting.
The instructor encouraged development of new viewpoints and appreciations.
I elarn more when other teaching methods are used.
