Ever wanted to talk back to your professor, and be rewarded for doing it? Well your chance is now.
Once again it is time for Lipscomb students to complete course evaluations for this fall semester. Associate Provost of Academic Administration and Strategic Initiatives Dr. Susan Galbreath believes the evaluations are important so that students’ opinions of teachers can be heard.
“We want to be able to reward and acknowledge faculty who are doing a great job, and students can tell us that,” Galbreath said.
Each semester there are opportunities for students to evaluate the courses in which they are registered in for that term. The annual evaluations are useful for faculty members to understand what’s working and what’s not working according to students.
“A student evaluation is one way for us to get a picture as to what goes on in the classroom,” Galbreath said.
For the first time last semester students were rewarded for completing all course evaluations with various prizes, and this semester SGA sponsors and faculty members would like to continue this contest.
“As a part of the online course evaluations every semester we have a grand prize winner, and last year it was a Garmin GPS system,” Galbreath said. “This semester it is an iPod shuffle, which will go to one student who completes all their course evaluations for the semester.”
The grand prize is sponsored through the online course evaluation, and the individual is randomly chosen from the company that provides the gift. Faculty and SGA sponsors would like to congratulate all winners from last semester, especially grand prize winners Shelby Finn and Owen Herndon.
In addition to a grand prize, there will also be numerous gifts awarded to students who complete their course evaluations.
“SGA worked with us and they provided $1,500, and then we added another $500 to that to make it $2,000 in gift cards that would go to students,” said Galbreath.
Complete all your course evaluations, and you might have the opportunity to win an iPod shuffle.
Don’t worry if you missed the first term window to evaluate your courses earlier in the semester, there is still time.
Any student can log on to myLipscomb under the student tab, and there is a graphic that says “talk back to your professor.” Once there, all you have to do is make one easy click and it will take you right to the course evaluation.
The online evaluations will be open from Nov. 15- Dec. 9 at 12 a.m.
