FACD Course Evaluation and Assessment
  • CO-I Wendi Kappers

    CO-I Sara Ombres

  • The purpose of this research is to maintain appropriate and accurate records for the evaluation of the FACD (Faculty Development) courses offered by the Rothwell Center for Teaching and Learning Excellence. The evaluation will include: assignments included as part of the courses, end of course surveys, follow-up surveys and assessments. The review of these courses and their assignments will likely reveal common faculty misconceptions or faculty beliefs about teaching and learning which will not only aid the Rothwell CTLE, but other Faculty Development Centers looking to aid faculty with their teaching. The evaluation will also improve the Center’s faculty development process and help uncover future training needs that can be addressed by the Rothwell CTLE. This is an ongoing, department-specific report that can be reviewed by anyone in the university per request.
