THE UWF FORM FOR STUDENT
ASSESSMENT OF INSTRUCTION
The form (Appendix A) has 18 items, 8 of which are those originally developed for the State University System Student Assessment of Instruction (SUSSAI) program. The remaining items were taken from the former UWF form and are additions/revisions recommended by the Faculty Senate Committee which developed the current form.
Summary Reports (Appendix B)
As has been policy, summary results for completed forms will not be prepared until after grades have been submitted for a given semester.
The summary results for the 8 SUS-related items will be entered on the reports compiled alphabetically by instructor and alphanumerically by course, and made available for public access.
The summary results for the UWF items will be tabulated separately with the summary report maintained in a confidential file until released by the faculty for use in the annual evaluation process.
Classroom Administration of the UWF-SAI Form
The evaluation form is to be administered within the last three (3) weeks of the course before final exam week on a day other than when an examination will be given. Specific instructions (Appendix C) for administering the form in the classroom will be affixed to the envelope in which the forms will be delivered by the departmental office to the faculty. The faculty member may not be present during the time students are completing the forms.
Identification of classes in which the form is to be administered
To satisfy the requirements of the use of the student evaluations in the UWF-SAI annual evaluation process, the UWF-SAI evaluation form must be administered to all sections of courses taught by a given faculty member in a given semester (ordinarily the Fall Semester or Spring Semester). Further, the evaluation form must be administered to at least one section of each different course taught in a given academic year (Fall and Spring Semesters, Summer excluded). For example, assume that a faculty member teaches and administers the UWF-SAI form in the following courses in the Fall Semester: ABC 3000 0901, ABC 3000 0902, and ABC 3500 0101. Further, assume the faculty member teaches the following in the Spring Semester: ABC 3000 0801, ABC 4300 0501, and ABC 4700 0601. Since the faculty member administered the UWF-SAI form in sections of ABC 3000 in the Fall Semester, to satisfy requirements the faculty member need not administer the form in the Spring Semester for this course. However, the faculty member must administer the form in ABC 4300 and ABC 4700 in the Spring Semester.
All adjuncts and graduate teaching assistants are required to administer the UWF-SAI for all courses and all sections taught each term in which they teach including Fall, Spring, and Summer terms.
