#facultyevaluation

Faculty evaluation season always brings with it a mix of anticipation and reflection—for both students and teachers.

At its core, faculty evaluation isn’t just about grading performance. It’s about creating space for growth. It's a tool that bridges student experiences with teaching strategies, offering constructive insight into what’s working—and what needs rethinking.

For students, this is a chance to voice their learning journey honestly and respectfully. Are the lessons clear and engaging? Are the assessments fair and aligned with the content? Is the classroom a space that welcomes questions and encourages growth?

For teachers, it's not just feedback—it's a mirror held up to their craft. It’s a chance to recalibrate, innovate, and reaffirm their passion for teaching. And honestly, when taken seriously, faculty evaluations can be powerful catalysts for transformation—not just in individual classrooms but in school culture as a whole.

Let’s remember: evaluation isn't criticism—it's collaboration. When both students and faculty treat it with purpose, it becomes a shared step toward better education for everyone.

An online orientation via Zoom was held on March 6 for students to learn about the upcoming Faculty Evaluation. Additionally, it aimed to help students understand the new changes to the updated USTEP site and its functions, provide instructions on how to evaluate using the USTEP for those who are new students in USTP. Moreover, it is important to provide crucial feedback on the instructors' teaching throughout the first and second semesters, allowing students to express their opinions by assessing the instructors' effective teaching and course delivery improvements.

By doing so, it creates a productive learning environment and engages everyone in benefiting both students and instructors. Without this evaluation, faculty might not realize that some students have ill intentions or provide positive feedback despite harsh remarks in between. Thus, it helps them understand the needs to improve their teaching delivery to their students. 

Despite the business, we prioritize other subject assignments, but that won't stop us from achieving something great for our future, including my future. With this, we continue to strive and find ways to accommodate everything in one swift move. STAY POSITIVE :))!
