[email protected] Whether they contain comments or doodles, complaints or praise, some faculty members are questioning the reliability and validity of student eval- uations of instructors. The University Sen- ate will further look at the effectiveness of the Student Input to Teach- ing Evaluation ques- tionnaires at the senate meeting this Thursday. Funny Robert Cobb, direc- evaluation tor of Institutional Re- search, said SITE ques- answers tionnaires are given to page 3A students each semester to get input about the ef- fectiveness of instructor performance. Senate Chairman Paul Markham said that earlier this semester, during a senator orientation event, a few faculty members mentioned that they’d like to revisit the issue of the effectiveness of SITE questionnaires and whether or not the reports should be altered or re- placed by a different tool.
