Date
07/14/21

The list of faculty, instructors, and teaching assistants in the Department of Chemistry who were ranked excellent by their students has been announced from results of the Spring 2021 and Summer 2021 course evaluation processes.  

Results are based on the ratings from the Instructor and Course Evaluation System (ICES) maintained by Measurement and Evaluation in the Center for Innovation in Teaching and Learning. This list is based on ICES forms completed by students.  

Only those instructors who distributed ICES forms at least once during the semester and who released their data for publication are included in the lists. Only numerical data from the ICES questionnaire results were used, and at least five students must have responded in each class. For more information or to view previous rankings, go to the Center for Innovation in Teaching & Learning website.

Here is the list of teachers in the Department of Chemistry who were ranked excellent along with their corresponding Spring 2021 course numbers. If they were ranked excellent for a summer course that is indicated in parentheses.
