All individuals submitting an FCQ are required to adhere to these Terms, further, by submitting FCQs you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you disagree with any part of the Terms then you may not submit an FCQ.
The FCQ comment section is a place for the student to offer constructive comments to the instructor regarding their experience in a particular course. The student has the freedom to share their opinion of the class, offer advice or feedback to the instructor, provide context or clarity to their numeric responses, or to respond to a specific prompt provided by the instructor.
Prohibited behaviors
The following behaviors are violations of the Terms. Engaging in any of the following could result in consequences such as having your FCQ response removed, your comment being referred to the Office of Institutional Equity and Compliance (OIEC) and possible disciplinary action:
- Attacks on protected class. Harassment based on race, color, national origin, pregnancy, sex, age, disability, creed, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, veteran status, political affiliation or political philosophy.
- Use of slurs or other derogatory terms. These are not evaluations of an instructor’s ability, but rather insults and name-calling—in other words, abuse or hate speech.
- Threats and intimidation of any kind. This includes threats of physical violence and use of emotional intimidation to belittle an instructor or alter something about themselves (unrelated to teaching ability) through threats, insults or critiques of personal rather than professional attributes (e.g. hair style, clothing choices, physical appearance, etc.).
- Impersonation. You may not misrepresent yourself in any written comments, such as portraying oneself as another student or being untruthful about personal details about oneself.
