- The form currently in use was adopted by the faculty in November of 2000, and was intended to be used universally across all faculty members and courses at the college with the exception of independent study, guided reading, individual music instruction, and similar courses taught at Grinnell College.
- Since the form is not specific to any particular course, instructors may want to remind students of special course aspects to consider as they respond. Please encourage them to write comments! The forms should be completed in class.
- All instructors are welcome to use feedback forms of their own designs to gather data not collected on the college-wide form. Secondary instruments are self-supported and used autonomously for course development and improvement purposes.
- For courses with a lab component, instructors may receive one set of forms for the lecture and one set for the lab. Depending on the structure and degree of integration, it may or may not be useful to administer separate questionnaires. Instructors should use their own discretion in such circumstances.
- In the case of team-taught courses, instructors may administer the form as a joint questionnaire (asking students to note instructor-specific comments as appropriate) or a second set of forms can be provided to rate each instructor separately. Instructors may use their own discretion in such circumstances or contact our office to discuss alternatives.
- Packets are not generated for any course with an enrollment of one nor for any ALS, RED, THS, WRT, physical education activities, private music lessons, independent study, MAP, +2, or internship course. Instructors teaching excepted courses may still wish to utilize the standard form and are welcome to do so. Please contact Vickie Rutherford (x3450) to request forms.
- Courses with non-standard schedules, and courses for which the number of class participants significantly exceeds the number of students enrolled for credit, should contact our office early in semester to make special arrangements. Department offices may keep extra forms on hand for special circumstances.
- Materials for short courses, as well as the Grinnell-in-London and Grinnell-in-Washington programs, are delivered earlier in the semester.
- Academic Affairs administers end-of-course forms for tutorials.
