A great deal of progress has been
made on campus to improve teaching and learning. In recent years and as a
response to action by the University Senate, a campus-wide set of guidelines
for the evaluation of courses and instructors has been developed. Besides
providing guidelines for academic units to create their own web-based
systems, i.e., departments have this choice, a new campus-wide evaluation
system, i.e., the Purdue Instructor Course Evaluation Service (PICES) was
created, thus replacing the previously used CAFETERIA system.
Departments and instructors are
encouraged to use a wide array of tools and strategies for assessment and
evaluation of their curricula, individual courses and teaching by their
instructors throughout the semester. Contact the Center for Instructional
Excellence (CIE) for information for more assistance in this area.
