FEP
APPENDIX D:
Questionnaire Information
In completing the FEP requirement to assess the responses of students (or other service area recipients for non-teaching faculty), a faculty member may select from the following options:
1. an existing student questionnaire already being utilized at the college or district
-- or --
2. to either customize a questionnaire by utilizing the suggested questions from those listed in Appendix D or select another appropriate instrument they are aware of which is not presently being used by the college/district.
If a faculty member chooses to design a questionnaire, he/she should select sufficient questions to cover the full range of their professional roles.
The types of questions listed in Appendix D are “closed-ended” questions and are designed to elicit specific information by having respondents rate the items as follows:
A = Excellent
B = Above Average
C = Average
D = Needs Improvement
E = Poor
N/A Item does not apply
In addition, faculty may also develop “open-ended” questions of their own design to allow respondents to write their replies in sentences.
Faculty should utilize proctors (from among respondents) to administer the questionnaire and should not be present while it is being conducted.
Proctors will seal the questionnaires and answer sheets in envelopes and deliver them directly to the department/division secretary for processing.
To protect the anonymity of respondents, original answer sheets and item analysis data will be delivered to the faculty member, after final grades are submitted.
