FACULTY FOOD SECRET
Adjacent to the cafeteria is a faculty cafeteria, on certain days and nights, the students in the hospitality program prepare restaurant quality meals at well below restaurant costs – recommended!

Food and drink on campus

• LCR has a coffee shop on the first floor - hours vary so check at the beginning of the semester.
• Cafeteria has a grill, a sandwich bar and a few other food choices; has limited hours so check each semester for current schedule.
• The C store is like a Circle K with drinks, candy, chips, and other fast food. The best choice is the campus made bakery items. Check the hours each semester. It's across from the bookstore.
  

If an online class is chosen by the faculty member for evaluation, the faculty member will notify the evaluation coordinator at the appropriate college or CE.

The faculty member will then request online evaluation services from SDCCD Computing Services (CS) by completing an online form to provide the same information as is required on the class identification forms used for in-class evaluations.   

https://admin.sdccd.edu/evalrequest" is the URL address that is used to request online eval service for your online classes.  (Notice the s in https.)

During the request process, the faculty member will define the start date and stop date of the survey.  Students will not be able to submit the eval outside of the period the faculty member sets up.  Please let students know the start/stop dates of the evaluation.

As the last step in the request process, the faculty member will be provided with the correct address to give to students so they can access the online eval system.  The faculty member should publish the URL address at the appropriate time and place in the online course. 

Note: Classroom based courses may not be evaluated online.

Note: Online evals are not done during the summer session.

Online evaluations will be tabulated by CS at the end of the final day specified by the faculty member. 

Printouts will be generated with summary data and the content of any text comments. 

These printouts will be sent to the designated campus instructional/student services office where they will be processed as if they were Scantron forms.  The faculty member will not have access to anything but summary data until after grades have been submitted. 

Additional information is available in Article XV of the current AFT contract.
