West Texas A&M University supports Top Hat University's suite of tools for the classroom (both traditional face-to-face and online.) Click here to learn more.
Teaching Self-Assessment Tool
West Texas A&M University recently introduced a new course evaluation tool to replace the CIEQ form that formerly made up the bulk of one's documentation with respect to teaching performance. While the course evaluation tool is extremely important, the university urges faculty to provide additional forms of assessment and documentation. Peer evaluations are one such measure but there are others. Interested in additional means of documenting classroom performance and/or teaching effectiveness? You may download the traditional teaching self-assessment form by clicking on this link.
