Faculty Advancement Fund Grants (FAFG) Proposals Due November 1, 2008 The Faculty Advancement Fund Grant (FAFG) was established to reward and enable the professional work of Emerson College faculty in its efforts to sustain academic excellence in teaching, research/creative activity, and service. FAFG proposals for the 2007-08 academic year are due in the Dean's offices on November 1, 2008.
Online Course Evaluations
Each semester Emerson College requests that all students complete a course evaluation for each of their courses. This allows students to provide valuable feedback to the faculty and to the College.
Student participation in semester evaluations is very important: the faculty learn a great deal about themselves and the content and organization of their courses and the College uses the information to assist in making personnel and curricular decisions. The on-line evaluation is REQUIRED and completely CONFIDENTIAL so students can take the time to give the faculty and the administration thoughtful and constructive feedback.
To access the on-line course evaluation form:
- Log-on to: http://interactive.emerson.edu and click on the "Course and Teacher Evaluation Survey" option on the menu.
- Each student will see a list of his/her courses that need to be evaluated and the student must evaluate all listed courses in order to complete the process and be allowed to view grades.
Students will be able to access the evaluation system 24 hours a day once they are posted. Students will be notified when the online evaluations will be accessible.
The Spring 2008 semester online course evaluation forms will be available for students to fill out in April 2008.
