Volume 3, Number 1 (Fall 2006) The Student Evaluation of Course Experience (SECE) by Janice Tam Ever show up to a class and realized it was not at all what you were led to believe from the course description? Don't you wish you could get some insight from previous students about what they thought of a course before you sign up? Well, now you can! The student chapter is testing out a new student-oriented evaluation of all HF/E courses (core and electives). In short, this will be similar to the SOTEs, but the results will be posted on the student chapter website for every HF/ student to access. What are some of the things that you can find out about potential courses? We will cover aspects that are important to student needs. For example: What's the format of the course? Lecture style (bring some note-taking materials!) Mediated discussion style (bring some issues to discuss!) Mostly student presentations (bring some covert entertainment!) What is the method of evaluation? Projects Midterms/Finals Research paper In addition, we will also include a little about the professor teaching the course. For example: Does he or she seem knowledgeable? Does he or she seem approachable? Does he or she explain concepts clearly? Does he or she answer questions well? In order to make this happen we need all of our current students to help out in the effort. At the end of the term, we will be sending out a survey (via Survey Monkey) to students enrolled in classes. Please fill them out!
