2. 2 2 Current Student Evaluation of Faculty (SEF) Process Upcoming Changes to SEF Process for Fall 2015 New Process for Students to Complete SEF Forms Process for Accessing Faculty View of SEF Information SEF Results Distribution Q&A

3. 3 3 Each semester during the last two weeks of classes, students in face-to-face and blended courses complete paper Student Evaluation of Faculty (SEF) instruments. Students enrolled in online courses complete an online SEF survey instrument via the CoursEval web platform. Responses from face-to-face and blended courses are collected by individual departments and sent to the Office of Planning, Assessment, and Institutional Research (PAIR). SEF reports are generated from all SEF responses. Data from these reports are ultimately incorporated into the faculty evaluation process and referenced for personnel decisions, including merit, promotion, and tenure. This process is labor intensive, requiring significant staff time and resources to print, complete, return, and scan the paper SEF responses.

4. 4 4 FSU has now adopted a fully online campus-wide evaluation system that will streamline the SEF process and result in significant cost savings. Beginning in the fall 2015 term: o Students enrolled in ALL courses will complete an online SEF survey instrument via the CoursEval web platform. o Students will complete SEF surveys by logging in to Blackboard and utilizing the MyCoursEval panel. o Faculty will access SEF course information by logging in to Blackboard and utilizing the MyCoursEval panel.
