IDQ Course Evaluations for Team Teaching Format
Modified on: Wed, 25 Oct 2023 7:31 AMIntroduction
This article describes the use of Instructor Designed Questionnaire (IDQ) System in Team-Teaching, where multiple instructors are evaluated on a single questionnaire.
Applicability
This article was written for instructors and support staff at the University of Alberta.
Details
A special format is available in the IDQ system to support evaluation of courses which involve multiple instructors. The questionnaire is arranged such that the questions that apply to the overall course appear first. These are followed by questions that apply to the instructor. Instructor-related questions are repeated for each instructor involved in the course.
This format
-
avoids burdening students by asking the same course-related questions multiple times
-
draws attention to the idea that the number of questions asked about a particular instructor should decrease as the number of instructors increases.
When these questionnaires are processed, the data are separated such that a separate report is generated for each of the instructors appearing on the questionnaire. Results for the common, course-related questions are included on each instructor's report.
