<div dir="auto">Hello Senators,<br>
<br>
Below you can read the recommendations of the Senate’s Continuous Improvement and Evaluation of Teaching committee for AY20-21 course evaluations. The attached document describes the principles the CIET used in arriving at these recommendations and various
alternative options they considered. Considerable thought has clearly been put into this proposal, but if you have additional comments or questions please pass them along to me. The Academic Council will be meeting on Tuesday to discuss some of the academic
changes for this AY including this proposal. </div>

Attached are the CIET senate committee’s recommendations regarding the elements that impact teaching evaluation. The attached document includes guiding principles, extreme examples to keep in mind, and then options for all 5 elements. Below are the recommendations
that the committee has overwhelmingly agreed to (with some dissenting opinions). Note that the final recommendation is perhaps the most important, because that is when actually evaluation takes place (all other elements are just data collection tools, not
evaluations in and of themselves). Let me know how I or the committee can be of service as a final decision is made.</blockquote>

Conduct as individual unit feels they are able based on prioritization of service work and their desire to have peer insights alongside student feedback during evaluation of teaching. Consider prioritizing career faculty and pre-tenure faculty.</blockquote>
