A new page is in development (July 2026).<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>On this page, I share my student evaluations of teaching (SEoTs), as they are one of the important ways to evaluate teaching. UBC provides an official route through which students can evaluate teaching. Among other questions determined by individual Faculties (e.g., Arts) and departments (e.g., Psychology), the teaching of all instructors at UBC are evaluated on six &#8220;University Module Items&#8221; or simply &#8220;UMIs.&#8221; \u00a0All items are rated on a 5 point scale, 5= strongly agree, 4 = agree, 3 = neutral, 2 = disagree, 1 = strongly disagree.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>UMI 1. The instructor made it clear what students were expected to learn.<\/li>\n<li>UMI 2. The instructor communicated the subject matter effectively.<\/li>\n<li>UMI 3. The instructor helped inspire interest in learning the subject matter.<\/li>\n<li>UMI 4. Overall, evaluation of student learning (through exams, essays, presentations, etc.) was fair.<\/li>\n<li>UMI 5. The instructor showed concern for student learning.<\/li>\n<li>UMI 6. Overall, the instructor was an effective teacher.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><em>Summer 2021 update on SET reporting values: <\/em><\/strong>Since 2018, the administrators of student evaluations at UBC have been emphasizing the Interpolated Median (IM) instead of the Mean. Basically, the IM starts with the Median and adjusts it to account for the amount of agreement among respondents (<a href=\"http:\/\/aec.umich.edu\/median.php\">see here for the formula<\/a>). Although it&#8217;s common to use the Mean in psychology for data on a Likert-type scale, I can see the descriptive benefits of this IM value. The downside, of course, is that it&#8217;s now really tough to compare my Student Evaluations scores from pre- vs post-2018, using just the information in the output file I&#8217;m provided. So I&#8217;m starting fresh with new graphs to begin to understand my values anew.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h1><strong><em>PSYC 217 Research Methods <\/em><\/strong><\/h1>\n<h4><strong><em>(W2008 to W2020: 24 sections, 1957 students)<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Each Fall, I teach two sections of Research Methods for Psychology Majors.
