Professional Course Evaluation (Winter 2024)
For Professional students studying in person or livestream
The Senate of McMaster Divinity College considers student evaluation of courses to be an essential component of ongoing programme assessment. This form will help you to evaluate the following in light of your personal learning goals, the goals of the course, and those of your degree programme:
1. The course content
2. Your own involvement in the course
3. The instructor
4. Methods of teaching and assessment
The Master of Divinity degree addresses the development of character and call in preparation for professional Christian ministry, while the Master of Theological Studies degree, Certificate of Christian Studies and Occasional courses address the development of character and call with a particular focus on providing a theological foundation for both lay and vocational ministry. These programmes provide spiritual, intellectual, and practical formation in terms of biblical, historical, theological, and pastoral competencies, equipping students to be effective leaders in the church and contemporary society.
Particular courses contribute to the broader goals of each degree programme which, according to the standards of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada, facilitate learning in four key areas:
1. Religious Heritage
2. Cultural Context
3. Personal and Spiritual Formation
4. Capacity for Ministerial and Public Leadership
Instructors will only be granted access to course evaluations after the submission of final grades. Your honest and objective assessment of all aspects of this course will contribute to its improvement for the benefit of future students. Please leave a blank for any questions that do not apply.
