To
help us save on costs, we ask that you not store your results in the
blue envelope but return the envelope to EES in campus mail - a return
address is stamped in the envelope window.
Administering
and Returning ACE Answer Sheets for Scanning:
1.
Place
the address sheet and ACE Header Sheet in the blue envelope with
the EES address showing through the window. The instructor/department
address information on the other side of the address sheet must
be complete.
2.
Select
a student to be responsible for collecting the completed ACE answer
sheets. Instruct the student to return the forms by inserting them
in the blue envelope under the address sheet and then doing one
of the following:
A.
If
your forms include a Department Core, have the student return
the envelope to the ACE representative in your department.
B.
If
you ordered your own forms and your department does not use
a Department Core, have the student return the packet by either
placing it in campus mail, returning it to a central collection
place in your department, or dropping it off in person at
EES.
3.
Pass
out one ACE answer sheet to each student and read the administrative
instructions exactly as printed. Reading a preprinted script helps
standardize the evaluation process.
4.
Exit
the room while the evaluation is being completed. Under no circumstances,
should student responses be viewed by you before they are returned
to EES for processing.
5.
Answer
sheets are scanned by EES and a copy of the results and answer sheets
are mailed to the address provided on the ACE address sheet.
NOTE:
A separate ACE Header Sheet, address sheet and blue envelope is required
for each unique course - do not put answer sheets with different form numbers
in the same ACE envelope.
General
Guidelines:
1.
Student
evaluations should be collected in the classroom under normal class
conditions. A minimum of three-fourths of the class should be present.
2.
Evaluations
should not be collected during the final exam period or be a part
of any test or quiz.
3.
Administrative
directions, provided by either EES or the department/college, should
be read to students exactly as printed. This is particularly important
for summative evaluations where faculty will be compared to a peer
group. All students should hear the same instructions.
4.
Students
should be provided a confidential mechanism through the department
or college for reporting incidences where instructors fail to follow
administrative guidelines or a student feels the evaluation process
has not been carrried out appropriately.
