HCC COURSE FACULTY EVALUATION - FALL'07 - ECE
Please take a few moments to complete this evaluation form so that the instructor of this course receives your input for the ongoing development of the class. A report will be delivered to the faculty member AFTER semester grades have been submitted.

You are guaranteed strict confidentiality!

The faculty member will receive a summary statistical report of class responses and a printout of student comments.

Please take extra time to complete the open ended (written) section of the evaluation form - student comments are often the most important component of a class/course evaluation!

ED 257 - EARLY MATHEMATICAL DEVELOPMENT - KNOWLEDGE SURVEY F'07 & SP'08
-
Are you completing this Knowledge Survey in the Fall of 2007 or the Spring of 2008?
FALL 2007 SPRING 2008

Is this survey being conducted at the BEGINNING or the END of the semester?
Beginning of Semester End of Semester


This is a Knowledge Survey rather than a "test." There are no right or wrong answers. While you will not be graded on this survey, please be very candid in your responses!

By completing this survey, both at the beginning and at the end of the semester, your instructor will be able to gauge your initial level of knowledge and then measure the amount of knowledge you gain during the semester. This information will help your instructor modify and improve the course.

Read each statement carefully and then choose a response based on the following instructions:

Mark A as your response to the item if you are not confident in your skills in the area and do not feel you can adequately demonstrate these skills on a test/essay/research paper. (LOW)

Mark B as your response to the item if you feel somewhat confident that you are reasonably skilled in the area and can demonstrate these skills at a reasonable level on a test/essay/research paper. (MODEST)

Mark C as your response to the item if you feel very confident that you are highly skilled in the area and can demonstrate these skills at a high level on a test/essay/research paper. (HIGH)

-
Please rate your level of confidence to:

A: Low B: Modest C: High
