Senate Committee on Course Evaluation (SCCE)

In April 2020, Senate passed a motion to pause activities related to the CEQ to allow time to review course evaluation processes at Memorial. A Special Committee of Senate for Evaluating Course and Teaching Effectiveness (ECTE) has been working on this review and a final report will be submitted to Senate in the fall 2021 semester. Further information will be shared with the University community as it becomes available.

Many instructors routinely use feedback methods to supplement the CEQ, and they are encouraged to continue this practice during this time. For instructors who may rely on the CEQ alone, or who may have unique requirements related to demonstrating teaching effectiveness, advice and support is available through the Centre for Innovation in Teaching and Learning (CITL). The SCCE will work closely with CITL during the time of the CEQ suspension to provide guidance on measures and approaches for selecting, collecting and interpreting evidence of teaching effectiveness. For instructors who want to get started, consider the following CITL resources:
