- The Course Operation Survey (COS) is normally administered online.
- The COS includes the following five course operations questions that speak to the student educational experience:
- I received timely feedback on my assignments.
- The course handouts/postings contain all of the information I need about the organization of this course.
- Students are treated with fairness.
- The class meets as scheduled and on time.
- The instructor is available for consultation as specified on the course handouts/ postings.
The survey items for all participants are scored on the following alphabetical scale:
A =Agree
B =Somewhat agree
C =Neither agree nor disagree
D =Somewhat disagree
E =Disagree
F = Does not apply / no opinion
Paper-based in-class evaluation has been suspended in Winter 2020 through Fall 2024
Course Operation Survey (COS) results are available online via the "Course Operation Survey" link on my.torontomu.ca, "Reports" tab. The COS reports are presented in the form of frequency distribution. They are available for individual faculty members and contract lecturers only.
For tenure-stream (probationary and tenured) and limited term faculty
- Information collected through the Course Operation Survey (COS) is available to individual faculty members through the COS portal for formative purposes and shall not be included in faculty annual reports.
- Faculty members may choose to include COS results in their teaching dossiers for the purpose of tenure and promotion but in no case shall be required to submit COS results. No negative inference will be drawn as a result of their absence.
For CUPE Unit 1 & 2 contract lecturers
- Course Operation Survey (COS) results are not automatically added to the CUPE Unit 1 currency reports. CUPE 3904 Unit 1 members who want to include these COS results in their currency reports must upload them manually.
- A negative inference will not be drawn if these are not submitted. In addition, Contract Lecturer Appointments Committees (CLACs) should not provide additional scoring to applicants who provide their COS scores for the above noted semesters in their application.
