The IDEA course/instructor evaluation tool allows each teacher to tailor assessments around the learning goals they’ve established for their course and students.  Receiving teaching effectiveness feedback centered on areas of greatest personal/professional interest encourages an in-depth review of the data and a commitment to transform results into an action plan for teaching improvement.  The use of a validated student ratings instrument also brings credibility and reliability to the faculty evaluation process.
