<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Administration of the spring 2017 semester Students’ Ratings of Teaching Effectiveness (SRTEs), often referred to as “Course Evaluations,” begins on 17 April and will
continue until 5 May 2017. The timeline allows three (3) full weeks for instructors to administer the SRTEs and return them to the Administrative Assistants.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Your Administrative Assistant(s) will need to verify the SRTE course information prior to departing CFEI. Staff from CFEI will collate and stuff the packets with the
STRE documents.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"><span style="font-family:"Cambria","serif"">Once the Administrative Assistants have secured the paper-based SRTE packets for F2F and Blended courses, they will distribute the packets to the faculty members listed
on the envelopes. For online courses, students will simply be prompted to complete their SRTEs whenever they sign-in to their computers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
