Teaching Evaluation
There are several ways in which to assess the teaching and learning in your classes. These methods can be an informal or formal structure and administered in the middle or end of the term. Below are a few of the ways in which the Center for Teaching Excellence can assist you in the assessments.
ICES
ICES is the acronym for the Instructor and Course Evaluation System.
ICES was developed at UIUC as one way to collect information from students
about your courses and teaching. With this system, you select items
from a catalog (or choose one of 4 complete forms) that you consider
most appropriate.
ICES
Online
ICES Online is our online equivalent of ICES (Instructor and Course Evaluation
System). ICES Online is a secure web-based system.
Informal
Early Feedback (IEF)
The IEF is an especially helpful method for receiving feedback during
the semester about the teaching and learning in your class. Asking for
information in the early part of the term will provide you with timely
information about how the class is progressing and ways to make changes
for improvement.
Focus
Groups
The information from student focus groups supplements the course evaluation
information provided by ICES.
