===== Course evaluations =====


CUFA did a course evaluation / student questionaire exercise, coming up with 20 new questions

Can this be shared?

CUFA were opposed to Faculty members using it / have the choice due to potential for selection bias.

"Student Learning Experience Questionnaire"

Ian Rakita seems to disapprove of the Learning Experience feedback form "it's like a course evaluation"

June Chalkelson wants the council to actually review the detail of the questions - check structure

"part of the issue is to get rid of the part-time course evaluation in the long run which most of us agree are pretty useless"


:?: Ida Karamfazil - Should teaching evaluations be included in a tenure application?

Peer review - can ask another Faculty Member to sit in

===== Collective Agreement =====

 discussions will really start in FALL and continue into 2023
