The signature assignment is an assignment that is submitted electronically in Tk20 providing direct evidence of student achievement and progress towards a
specific outcome, or group of outcomes. The electronic submission of the signature assignment in Tk20 serves two purposes. First, the signature assignment is
intended to assess important skills and abilities and identify areas of strength and challenge which instructors use to evaluate student progress. Second, the
signature assignment also serves as a college data collection and storage site that is required by the Department of Education. All students seeking certification
are REQUIRED to upload and submit their signature assignment in Tk20 for evaluation. Students must pass the signature assignment to pass the course. For
information, please see https://education.asu.edu/tk20-user-guides.

COURSE/INSTRUCTOR EVALUATION
The course/instructor evaluation for this course will be conducted online 7-10 days before the last
official day of classes of each semester or summer session. Response(s) to the course/instructor are
anonymous and will not be returned to your instructor until after grades have been submitted. The use
of a course/instructor evaluation is an important process that allows our college to (1) help faculty
improve their instruction, (2) help administrators evaluate instructional quality, (3) ensure high
standards of teaching, and (4) ultimately improve instruction and student learning over time.
Completion of the evaluation is not required for you to pass this class and will not affect your grade, but
your cooperation and participation in this process is critical. About two weeks before the class finishes,
watch for an e-mail with "ASU Course/Instructor Evaluation" in the subject heading. The email will be
sent to your official ASU e-mail address, so make sure ASU has your current email address on file. You
can check this online at the following URL: http://www.asu.edu/emailsignup.
