Instructors

GatorEvals is designed to support a culture where instructors are encouraged to reflect, grow, and celebrate effective teaching practices with the support of students, departments, and academic leaders. Student evaluations offer a meaningful window into how learners are experiencing your course. They provide perspectives that can illuminate what is supporting student engagement, which aspects of your teaching are having the greatest impact, and where expectations may feel unclear. When reviewed thoughtfully, this feedback becomes a powerful tool for refining instructional choices, strengthening course design, and enhancing the overall learning environment. Engaging with evaluations as part of an ongoing reflective practice helps you identify patterns, celebrate what is working well, and make intentional adjustments that deepen student learning across future semesters.

Each resource below supports a different aspect of your instructional and faculty responsibilities:

• Faculty Excellence & Advancement offers guidance on faculty development, promotion, tenure, and review processes.
• Response Rates helps you track student participation in course evaluations.
• Reports provides access to evaluation data and institutional reports for reflection and improvement.

Together, these resources help instructors make data-informed decisions, enhance teaching effectiveness, and plan for professional growth.
