• The Student Rating Tally has the totals of each form ordered (EX.: Form A, B, C, etc.).  The Evaluation Summary has a place for listing each course that is to be evaluated.  (SEE EXAMPLE BELOW)

• The totals on the tally sheets are obtained by adding the number of students using a particular form in each class.

• The Evaluation Summary is used to record the instructor's name, course and section, the form to be used, and the number of forms needed.  The listing must be in alphabetical order and grouped by instructor name.

• Be sure to indicate on the top of the Student Rating Tally sheet, in the space provided, the number of classes being evaluated.  (This will clue my office into how many instructor information sheets you need.)

• Tally your totals and fill in the appropriate number of yellow Student Comments Sheets.

• Tally your totals and fill in the appropriate number of SGA forms.   (Fall Semester Only)

The University of Washington has modified and expanded its instructional rating forms.  However, the Instructional Assessment System still consists of a set of student ratings forms which are tailored to different course types.  Below are descriptions of the types of courses for which each form is intended. Please note that two new forms have been added to the listing:  K & L, which are italicized below.
 

 FORM A is designed for small lecture/discussion courses.  Items emphasize the clarity 
 and quality of information transmitted as well as the nature of the interaction between 
 instructor and student.

 FORM B is designed for large lecture classes, with little or no in-class interaction 
 between instructor and student.  Items strongly emphasize the quality of course 
 organization and information transmitted.

 FORM C is designed for seminar discussion classes which include a minimal amount of
 formal lecturing by the instructor.  The items emphasize quality of discussion as well as 
 course organization and interest level.

 FORM D is designed for those classes whose purpose is the teaching of problem-solving or heuristic methods.  Clear explanations, dealing with student difficulties and quality of 
 problems are emphasized. 

 FORM E is designed for those classes which are skill oriented and in which students get 
 “hands on” experiences related to future occupational demands.  Such classes include 
 clinical nursing, art studio, social-work field experience, etc.

 FORM F is designed for quiz sections.  These are usually taught by graduate teaching 
 assistants, in conjunction with a lecture section taught by a regular faculty member. 
 Items focus on the ability of the quiz section instructor to interact with students and
 provide clear and useful explanations.

 FORM G is designed for use in large lecture classes (such as those taught in math) which  rely heavily on homework problems and a textbook.  Emphasis is on instructor’s ability to communicate with students, and the value of the assigned problems and readings.

 FORM H is designed for lab sections generally taught in conjunction with classes in the 
 physical sciences.  Items emphasize the instructor’s ability to provide information, 
 stimulate learning, and demonstrate skills.

 FORM I is designed for distance learning courses.

 FORM J is a replacement for the Clinical Teaching Assessment Form.  It is used to 
 evaluate instruction provided through clinical and/or studio experiences rather than 
 traditional academic coursework.

 FORM K is designed for studio and design courses in which students work 
 independently or in small groups to produce artistic, graphic, or other projects.  Items on 
 this form emphasize student skill development and quality of instructor guidance.

 FORM L has been developed for use with English as a Second Language (ESL) courses.
 This form differs from other IAS forms in the simplicity of the language, the layout of the
 form (separation of course and instructor items), the elimination of items 1-4 common to
 all other IAS forms, and the inclusion of demographic items.

 FORM X is a form designed by the Office of Educational Assessment in consultation
 with faculty at the University of Washington who wanted a general purpose, alternative 
 rating form.
