Evaluating Teaching Assistants (TAs)

Evaluating Teaching Assistants (TAs)

This article shares information evaluating teaching assistants (TA) in Blue. Some departments may use this TA functionality to evaluate people they consider “instructors.”

Critical to Know

  • If TAs are listed on a course in PeopleSoft, the TA(s) will be evaluated and not the primary instructor(s).

  • The same person can be listed as both a TA and Primary Instructor in PeopleSoft without issue. Doing so ensures the instructor(s) and TAs are evaluated.

  • If there are multiple TAs listed in PeopleSoft, students will be prompted to choose which TA(s) to evaluate. (They can evaluate up to 10 different TAs.)

  • If you have TAs but don't want them evaluated, add the TAs using Middleware.

Instructions

Option 1: Fill out the Schedule Change Request form for the Registrar’s office.

  • This allows you to add a TA to a course one at a time. This is best for submitting a few TAs for a few courses.

Option 2: Make a copy of this spreadsheet and email to schedulechange@boisestate.edu

  • This allows you to add multiple TAs to multiple courses. This is best for submitting 10+ TAs at a time.
