finishing the semester

Have students fill out evaluations of Fellows. In the final weeks of the semester, the Fellows will ask you to distribute and collect short student evaluations of the Writing Fellows program. (They will provide you with copies of a specially designed evaluation form.) This will take about 10 minutes of class time. Fellows use these evaluations to help them assess their Fellowing strategies and to set goals for future semesters; anything you can do to encourage your students to fill them out thoroughly and specifically will be much appreciated.

Complete your own evaluation of the program. Faculty evaluations tell us how well the program has met your needs and expectations and allow us to solicit your advice for improving the program in future semesters.

Thank your Fellows. We hope that you will consider doing something at the end of the semester to show your Fellows your appreciation for their work in your course. In previous semesters, professors have taken their Fellows out to lunch or coffee, or scheduled a brief meeting to praise and thank Fellows for their efforts. They work very hard for you, and even something as simple as a short personal note means a great deal to them.
