LIBR 246-12: Web 2.0 and Social Networking Tools (Fall 2008)

The SOTES (Survey of Teaching Effectiveness) is available now! For those who don't know, this is a survey that examines your satisfaction with the class and my teaching.

I'd definitely appreciate getting your feedback. Faculty members really do read these surveys and I am very interested in feedback that will help to determine the structure of my future classes. I found the feedback I received last time I taught very helpful in designing the class for you. So if there's something you hated about the class, you could help ensure that other students don't suffer through the same thing by offering your feedback (or if you liked something, you can help ensure that more time is devoted to it). The evaluations are totally confidential, so I won't be able to identify who wrote what.

Unfortunately, this is only for SJSU students because you have to have an account in my.sjsu.edu. So WISE students will not be able to fill this out. However, WISE itself offers an end-of-semester survey and I encourage you to fill that out. Also, you'll notice that the blog assignment for the last week of class includes the opportunity for offering feedback as well.

SOTES for Fall 2008 opened on November 25th at 12:01am and will close at 11:59 pm on December 10th. During this time frame they will be available round the clock (except for my.sjsu.edu downtime -see my.sjsu.edu home page)

To access SOTES:
1. Log into my.sjsu.edu
2. Click on the Self Service Link on the left
3. You will then see a link to "Online SOTE Rating"

The University central administration sets the opening and closing times so SLIS has no control over this.

If you have trouble finding the SOTE link you can use the search box on my.sjsu.edu and type in SOTE. It will take you right there.

Again, I strongly encourage you to share your observations by participating in the SOTES. Thanks!
