‘Uncertainty’ is quickly becoming a buzzword, but in the time of COVID-19, it’s an accurate assessment of the state of higher education surveys and evaluations. Teaching and learning have been dramatically transformed as institutions have been thrust into virtual learning mid-semester, and remote instruction is a completely new experience for many faculty members and students. As everyone adjusts to new tools, technologies and techniques, the volume of change is making it difficult to measure our current reality.
A recent Watermark panel discussion brought together administrators from diverse institutions and backgrounds to discuss their plans for unit evaluation this term and beyond, and offer tips to help others find a new path forward.
