Course Evaluation Policies and Procedures 2023-24
POLICY GUIDELINES from the Baylor Faculty Handbook
Because Baylor University emphasizes the importance of great teaching, faculty members should explore ways to develop, maintain, and improve instruction. Course evaluations provide an important means by which faculty can measure the effectiveness of their instruction. For this reason, instructors of record will participate in course evaluations, administered by the Office of Institutional Research, in all sections taught regardless of instructor rank, class size, or type of course.
Course Evaluation Request Forms
The Early Request Form can be submitted by Department Chairs to request evaluations prior to the end of the term, except summer semesters. Early requests must be submitted to the IR Office at Course_Evaluations@baylor.edu by the fourth week of class.
