Any faculty member may request that an independent filtering committee review the narrative comments on their FCQs for any or all of their course-sections and remove any abusive comments from processing. If requested before the end of October for the fall semester and before the end of March for the spring semester, the FCQ staff will review comments and provide copies to the ‘filtering committee’. That committee will then meet to review the comments and remove from processing any comments containing remarks the committee deems abusive. (Criteria for what constitutes “abusive” comments are based on direct feedback from various faculty and an assessment by the FCQ task force of 4,000 sample FCQ forms.)
Requests for this filtering service should be sent by email to FCQ@colorado.edu. Fall requests should be sent by the end of October and spring requests sent by the end of March.
Please note that this service can only be implemented if we are not overwhelmed with requests. Please request this service only if you have received abusive comments in the past or you have reason to be concerned that you will receive abusive comments this semester.
If you do not request this service and you find that you have received abusive comments when your FCQ results are posted, you may still request removal of the abusive comments from your record. For fall FCQs, these "post-processing" requests need to be submitted by March 1 for review, and for possible revision of FCQ data. For spring and summer terms, the deadline for post-processing requests is October 1.
