- November 22: Peer Evaluation of Teaching Tool (PETT) workshop
- Although widely used, student evaluations of teaching have known biases and limited use as true reflections of quality instruction. Therefore, the University Committee on Teaching recommends peer evaluations of teaching as a means of presenting supplemental views of teaching effectiveness at Rice.
- In this workshop, we will present an online, evidence-based tool for generating customizable peer evaluation forms. Also useful in assessing faculty candidates and mentoring junior faculty, come see and experience the launch of this user-friendly course and curriculum assessment tool. Bring your laptop or tablet!
- Presented by Laura Kabiri, Praise Mayor, Elizabeth McGuffey, and Rebecca Schreib.
All PSP events take place at 12:00-1:00 in 129 Herring. Lunch will be provided; RSVP here!
