Classes Excluded from ClassEval

(Fall 2008)
With few exceptions requested by department heads, the following classes
are excluded from ClassEval:

General course exclusions:
Classes with prefix "VMB", "VMC" and "VMP" offered by CVM (which has its own academic calendar
and evaluation system)

Classes taken by NC State students but not taught by NC State faculty
        (e.g., classes with a prefix of SAO, II, JDP, COP, or ZZZ)

Specific exclusion rules:
RULE 1. Sections with fewer than 5 students enrolled when the final snapshot is taken around October 9 (Fall term) or February 24 (Spring term).

RULE 2. Internships, field placements, independent studies, and any other classes in which the instructor does not present course material to the class as a group, as identified by the following course numbers:
        A.  29x and 49x with a blank suffix
        B.  60x and 62x through 699
        C.  61x with a blank suffix
        D.  80x and 82x through 89x
        E.  81x with a blank suffix
        F. Section numbers 510 through 599 ( DE study abroad non NCSU faculty)

RULE 3.  Sections whose title begins with "ST-", "SP-", or "SPTP-" and whose number has a blank suffix.

RULE 4.  Sections without an instructor listed in the Registration and Records file and/or sections whose instructor has zero percent responsibility.

RULE 5.  Lab and problem sections whose instructor is the same as the corresponding lecture section. This avoids duplication of the evaluation questionnaire for the same instructor.

Note:  Cross-listed or piggy-backed courses are evaluated as one course if their connection is noted correctly in Registration and Records' files.  Evaluation results are combined to make a single report.  Rule 1 is applied to the sum of both sections.  However, if these courses are not correctly identified as cross-listed or piggy-backed in those files, then they will be treated as distinct courses.  For the purpose of this list, enrollment on the course list is a dot (‘.’) for cross-listed or piggy-backed courses when enrollment is rolled to another section.
