This past week I learned several things about the evaluations which are used by the ANU to measure student satisfaction / dissatisfaction about courses they have just completed. Here are the two most important.
1. There is a very helpful group of people on campus who get the evaluations ready for the students and the statistical information back to the lecturers. They have a website called Planning & Statistical Services Division If possible try and limit your contact with the staff over peak times as they are a small team.
2. SELT evaluations are not automatic.
Unless you request a SELT evaluation nothing will appear behind the Evaluations (SELT) block on your Wattle page. Just because the block is there does not mean that there is a SELT Evaluation set up! 1. There is a very helpful group of people on campus who get the evaluations ready for the students and the statistical information back to the lecturers. They have a website called Planning & Statistical Services Division If possible try and limit your contact with the staff over peak times as they are a small team.
2. SELT evaluations are not automatic.
The following information was sent to me by the Evaluations Team:
We require the completion of a SELT request form, with details of the course, who the teaching staff are, and which teaching questionnaire each lecturer/tutor would like to run.If you'd like more information, have a look through their website or email the Evaluations Team.
The selection of questionnaires are available at: http://unistats.anu.edu.au/surveys/selt/instruments/
The request forms (either RTF or editable PDF) for SELT are available at: http://unistats.anu.edu.au/surveys/selt/academics/. The request form should list any auditing students, by Uni ID, in the ‘Additional Information”, as we have no central access to those details.
Post script - also from the Evaluations Team:
You may like to consider the SELT processes within the context of the university’s policy (https://policies.anu.edu.au/ppl/document/ANUP_000469) and guidelines (https://policies.anu.edu.au/ppl/document/ANUP_000787).Please note, over the course of the last six months, new a new survey and evaluations policy and procedure have passed through College consultation, ESQC, UEC and Academic Board. They now rests with the VC for approval and will supersede the current policy and guidelines. In the meantime, the content of the new policy and procedure can be accessed via UEC minutes 3/2013 from May 2013.
