The Instructional Development Center is proud to announce a successful kick-off to the Thank-A-Teacher program. An announcement was made just prior to the Thanksgiving break about this new program. This program provides an avenue for students to send a brief note of thanks to any faculty member who has made a positive impact on them.
Thank-A-Teacher does not take the place of university student evaluations.
The form was left open for student submissions until after the close of the fall semester. Many UCA students submitted a brief note of appreciation to various UCA faculty through the Thank-A-Teacher website.
After classes began this spring, the Instructional Development Center sent 138 “Thank you’s” to 120 different faculty members representing each college. For those of us who love numbers, here’s the breakdown:
– 138 “Thank Yous” Submitted
– 77 Different Students Identified by Name, 19 Submitted Anonymously for a Total of up to 96 Students
– 120 Different Faculty Thanked
– Average Number of “Thanks” Received Per College: 19.7
The IDC looks forward to sponsoring this program again this spring. Students will receive an announcement later this semester.
