Self Evaluations

When Evergreen began, student self-evaluations were mandatory and faculty evaluations were optional; now we have almost reversed that situation.  In keeping with the wisdom on which Evergreen was founded, the focus of assessment in this course will be your self-assessment.  During week 5 mid-quarter self-evaluations will be shared and revised in peer groups.  During week 9 final self-evaluations will be shared and revised in peer groups before being submitted to faculty for review. (NB: Participation in the peer review and editing workshop on Thursday, January 12 in CAB 110 is required.) We—the faculty—intend to use your self-evaluations to assess our overall, three-year long work in this program.  This means that we may want to use your evaluations as data in publications and discussions about this program and we want future students to be able to read your evaluations as data for our assessment of this work.  In addition, we want to be able to use your evaluations from this quarter to inform students enrolling in subsequent quarters about our work in “Awareness.”  So, we would like everyone to agree to have their evaluations made public in this way.  We’ll be doing a “human subjects review” to provide you with the opportunity to make an informed decision to do this.  You will have several opportunities to opt out of this participation (which would leave your self-evaluation’s  privacy protected to the extent it is in any college program).  We’ll have more to say about this as we go along.
