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.
