2. SPOT shall ordinarily be used by all instructors in all courses every semester including summer sessions. Paper versions of SPOT will be used in traditional classroom settings, and online courses will use an online version of SPOT. Recognizing, however, that some courses rely heavily on specialized, non-classroom learning experiences (e.g., field-based; hospital-based; laboratory-based; performance-based), exceptions may be established at the departmental level by mutual consent of a faculty member and the appropriate chairperson. In such cases, some method of student evaluation shall be implemented by the department chairperson.
4. Administration of the
instrument paper SPOTs shall be delegated to an
individual other than the instructor. That individual may be a student or
another faculty member.
5. A brief standardized statement of
instruction shall be read presented to each class
prior to the administration of SPOT.
6. During the administration of the
instrument paper SPOTs, the instructor shall
leave the classroom and its vicinity.
8. Following administration of the
instrument paper SPOTs, the evaluation forms
shall be sealed in an envelope and returned immediately to the departmental
office. Department chairpersons will keep these secure and will forward
them for processing.
