Flashlight Evaluation Handbook
Table of Contents TLT/Flashlight services for student
course evaluation are based on several assumptions:
- Every survey and every report changes participants.
Does your course evaluation system provide an object
lesson to your students about how applied social
research should be done? Should your course
evaluation system exploit students? or engage them?
- Student course evaluation should help academic staff
routinely gather and use information from students in
order to improve teaching and learning (sometimes called
'building
a culture of evidence.')
- That's easier to do when student
response forms can be tailored to each course, and when
different stakeholders can contribute questions (we call this
a matrix survey).
- Faculty learning communities provide one promising
strategy for progress - work first with those faculty
who are most interested in using student feedback as one
source of guidance to improve courses and degree
programs.

with a FIPSE-funded project called
