Overview
These evaluations appear to have been completed by other faculty before and during the 1960s. From the 1970s to present, the faculty-course evaluations were completed by students. Evaluations were originally completed during class time and were in paper format, but in 2016 evaluations were moved to an electronic format. The evaluations are divided by academic departments.
Arrangement
This series is arranged in alphabetical order with the exception of Box 1, Folder 1 titled Procedures. See processing note.
Processing Information
Box 1, Folder 1 titled Procedures is not in alphabetical order. It seemed to fit better at the beginning of the series since the contents describe the process and rules of faculty-course evaluations.
