Evaluations
Every semester TAs are to be evaluated by their course-enrolled students prior to the last day of classes via the form linked below. Compiled evaluation results will become part of the student's records. The ME Department does NOT use the SRT for its teaching assistants. Evaluations are compiled through the ME Student Services office.
Job Commitment: Be evaluated by the students of your course. This evaluation should not be confused with the course evaluation, which is separate and relates to the course instructor.
Two Types of TA Evaluations
A. Evaluations done by the students enrolled in the course.
Deadline: Last day of classes in the semester
Student Evaluation for ME TAs
Each semester, the ME Student Services Office will send an announcement when evaluations become available and/or links go live. Note that the ME Department does NOT use the Student Rating of Teaching (SRT) for our Teaching Assistants. Instead, enrolled students should use the ME form listed below or visit z.umn.edu/me-ta-evals to evaluate their TA(s). There are some cases where TAs may be exempt from this commitment. Please see the Process Flowchart to determine if you are exempt.
B. Evaluations done by the course Instructor
Deadline: Last day of classes in the semester
Instructor Evaluation of TA
The instructor for the course evaluates their TAs by completing the form found at the link below. How well a student does/doesn't will help the DGS determine who will receive contracts during the appointment period.
