Appendix B
Samples of Questionnaires Used to Evaluate Undergraduate Student Learning
The student questionnaires included in this appendix exemplify several approaches to assessing student learning and, in turn, using that information to improve teaching. The College Student Report 2000 (from the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching and Pew Forum on Undergraduate Education, 2000) and the Student Instructional Report II (from the Educational Testing Service) are generic approaches to evaluating learning. Evaluation forms from several universities are presented to demonstrate the kind of information that might be sought from students and the variety of ways (e.g., end-of-semester, midsemester) and settings (e.g., classroom, laboratory) in which students can be queried.

In rating your progress, consider each objective carefully. Because the objectives are stated in general terms, interpret each of them in the context of this course; for instance, if an objective includes a list of items, consider the objective only in terms of the relevant item(s). Also, because most courses do not attempt to achieve all of these objectives, there are likely to be some objectives on which you have made no progress. Thus, an answer of "None" may simply mean that the objective in question was not one the course sought to achieve.
