How do I determine the evaluation factor?

September 5, 2011

Hours for evaluation and feedback are based on the method of evaluation being used. Three types are identified in the workload formula, but it is also possible to have a blended evaluation factor if more than one type is used.

“Essay or project” (Ratio: 1:0.030 per student)
“Essay or project” Involves marking essays, essay-type assignments or tests, projects, or student performance based on behavioral assessments [11.01 E 2 (i)]. Students’ performance based on behavioral assessment includes such techniques as presentations in class which the professor then further assesses after the class.

“Routine or assisted” (Ratio: 1:0.015 per student)
Involves the grading of short answer tests or the use of mechanical marking assistance or marking assistants [11.01 E 2 (ii)].

“In-process” (Ratio: 1:0.0092 per student)
Means that the evaluation is performed entirely within the teaching contact hour [11.01 E 2 (iii)].
