The Instructional Development Center is proud to announce another successful semester of the Thank-A-Teacher program. An announcement was made the first week in April about the program and the form was left open for student submissions until after the close of the spring semester. 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. (Note: Students were encouraged to use this service. Thank-A-Teacher does not take the place of university student evaluations.) Many UCA students submitted a brief note of appreciation to various UCA faculty through the Thank-A-Teacher website.
After summer classes began, the Instructional Development Center will send 165 “Thank you’s” to 128 different faculty members representing each college. For those of us who love numbers, here’s the breakdown:
– 165 “Thank Yous” Submitted
– 111 Different Students
– 128 Different Faculty Thanked
– Average Number of “Thanks” Received Per College: 26.7
– 451 “Thank Yous” submitted this academic year Year – Up 65% from last year!
The IDC looks forward to sponsoring this program again this upcoming fall semester. Faculty, be looking for your Thank You notes to arrive in campus mail over the next few weeks!
