THE HISTORY:

Beginning with Term 4 and Semester 2, Spring 2009, Warren Wilson College adopted a new procedure for course and faculty evaluations.  With input from the faculty, a new hard-copy evaluation form was developed based on a sample from Millsaps College.  The new form was administered in the classroom during the next to the last week of classes.  The front side of the form contains objective questions with bubble-form answer grids, and the back side of the form consists of several boxes for open-ended narrative questions.  Numeric responses were scored via a Scan-Tron digital scanner, and narrative responses were scanned to electronic image files.

The "old form" linked above was used at WWC for many years, and was scored by hand by staff in the Office of Academic Affairs. (Completed copies of this form can be found in faculty files dating as early as 1998. Evaluations before this date have been archived or purged, so we are unable to determine the exact date that this form was adopted.) The completed evaluations were xerox copied and copies were sent to faculty members after final grades had been submitted, along with a summary sheet which listed tallied and averaged ratings for each objective question on the front of the form and tallied ratings for items on the back of the form. Originals were kept on file in the Office of Academic Affairs for use in the faculty extended contract review process. As the college grew, the laborious task of scoring these evaluations by hand became unsustainable, as did the amount of paper consumed.

In February 2008, Interim VPAA John Casey invited faculty to attend a meeting to preview and trouble-shoot a new on-line version of the course evaluation. The questions and format would be the same as the hard-copy form already in use. The difference would be that students would log in to Campus Web to complete their evaluations. This method was adopted beginning Term 4 / Semester 2 in Spring of 2008. This eliminated the labor hours, time delay, and margin of error of hand-scoring.
