Teaching evaluations for Dr. Jim Williams

Click here to open a pdf file with the results of student evaluations of my teaching since we changed evaluation forms. If you would like more details, please let me know.

These are the results of student evaluations of my teaching when we used the old form that had fewer questions than the current form. In each column you will find the percentage of students who responded "Almost Always" or "Usually" to the statement.  During academic year 1998-99, I was on research leave and did not teach any courses. I am evaluated only during the fall semester. You are welcome to peruse my full evaluations anytime by contacting me or stopping by during my office hours.
