Glenn's Summative Course Evaluation Rubric

Example of a Formative Evaluation: (I think this would take the format of a checklist rather than a rubric to make it something that is quick and easy to do each week)

(On a scale of 1-5, 5 being the best) 1. Assignment Expectations were clear 2. Resources that were provided were beneficial 3. Communication was meaningful 4. Educator provided feedback/prompted conversation 5. List one strength/weakness of the past week

Example of a Summative Evaluation: (This could be in the form of a rubric so that it is easier to see how different aspects are rated and in what areas the educator needs to improve) One source that I found listed 5 things that are included in Effective Teaching Competencies. I think that these would be 5 good aspects that could be listed in a rubric. Overview of Effective Teaching Competencies ( [] )
 * Providing a Clear and Empathetic Learning Environment
 * Promoting Active Student Involvement
 * Catering for Students' Learning Difference
 * Assisting Students to Identify the Outcomes of Their Learning
 * Engaging in Self-Development

=**Colleen's Rubric/Checklist for Course Evaluation **=

//**Self Reflection**// (formative and summative self assessment)
 * //Student Surveys//** - (formative and summative student assessment) can occur at the end of the course to assess the success of the course. Shorter versions can be used at the end of modules to evaluate the short term success of the course.
 * Best format is a survey given to the students electronically (for a DE course) using something like SurveyMonkey or GoogleDocs Formss. The survey should include scale questions, and free write answers such as:

 * This course was well organized.
