Near the completion of each semester, students are provided with the opportunity to evaluate their professors and courses. The process is as follows:

• Faculty provides each student with a Course and Teacher Survey (CATS) form during a normally scheduled class.



• The CATS forms are then completed and collected by a designated student who signs or initials the transmittal form. The faculty member should not be in the room.



• The designated student must return the evaluations in the envelope provided to the office indicated by the professor, usually the department office or the Dean’s Office.



• Once the CATS forms are processed by the Office of Planning, Training, and Institutional Research (OPTIR), final results are given to the faculty member and may be available for students to view on NOVASIS.
