Support for “Assigned Instructor” Course Type:

In order to better support the evaluation of course types, such as independent study, that have multiple instructors working with a subset of students, the system supports these course types so that when an evaluation is created for an instructor in an “Assigned Instructor” course, that instructor will only be evaluated by their assigned student(s).

 This graphic represents an “Assigned Instructor” course type with 3 instructors (A, B, C) and 4 students (1, 2, 3, 4)

  • Student 1 is assigned to Instructor A
  • Student 2 is assigned to Instructor B
  • Students 3 & 4 are assigned to Instructor C

In this example, up to three evaluations could be created, one for each instructor, and each student would only evaluate their assigned instructor.

Institutional Data Uploads: In order to identify “Assigned Instructor” course type, additional data needs to be imported into both the Time Schedule and Classlist uploads:

  • Time Schedule (Courses) template has an optional “Assigned Instructor” field that identifies if the course type is “Assigned Instructor” – A zero or blank field means this course is not an “Assigned Instructor” course type.  The number one (1) indicates this course is an “Assigned Instructor” course type
  • Classlist (Students) template has an optional “Instructor ID” field for students enrolled in “Assigned Instructor” courses; this identifier provides the ability to link a student to an instructor
