UA Teacher Course Evaluations

The UA Teacher Course Evaluations have moved to Analytics. Students now ALSO have access to Analytics (just to this dashboard). So, if you have been referring students to tce.arizona.edu (http://tce.arizona.edu/) , they now instead need to follow these instructions:
1. Log into UAccess Analytics
2. Click on Dashboards menu and select 'TCE-Teacher Course Evaluation' in the TCE folder (it’s the only Dashboard students see listed)
3. Click the TCE Student Report tab(top left)
4. Enter the criteria in the drop-down menus at the top
5. Make sure to remove the term, which is currently auto-populating to Fall 2015*
6. Make sure to delete the Subject-Catalog-Section, which is currently auto-populating to AAS-220-001*
7. Click Apply on the right
When you pull up an instructor course, a new drop-down menu populates top-center that lists the terms in alpha order (so Fall 2002 comes up first); so you will need to select the proper section from that if you want to look up different instructors/sections of a course.

Application Deadline: February 25, 2016

Students will climb to the temple of Apollo at Delphi and the famous Parthenon in Athens, visit the renowned theater at Epidaurus, tour the institutions of Athenian Democracy, and run in the stadium that hosted the ancient Olympics games at Olympia, in addition to visiting museums filled with superb artifacts and ecofacts. On the idyllic island settings of Kea students are given the opportunity to handle with archaeological materials and directly examine interconnections between craft production and performance by visiting mines and quarries, engaging with the fundamentals of several technologies such as pottery and textile production, metallurgy, beekeeping, food production and preparation. Students are introduced to icons of Greek art, architecture and literature through readings and, most
significantly, through hands-on activities and opportunities for their own performance or craft production. They also gain unique experiences and exercise critical skills while grounded in the landscape and environment that was the cradle of Western civilization.

Videos describing the program details and itinerary were created by program leaders  Professor Groves and Professor Gorogianni.
