FAQs: Frequently Asked Questions for ASPECTS Presenters
- How do I know if the room I am scheduled in has the necessary technology that I will need for my session?
-
Review the instructional technologies available in the room where you are scheduled to present. ASPECTS has made a concerted effort to schedule sessions in technology-rich classrooms with all the tools a presenter may need.
If you have specific technology or audiovisual needs, please contact Rachel Barrera (rachel@austin.utexas.edu or 232-1771) immediately so that arrangements can be made.
- When will evaluation packets be delivered to my office?
-
Evaluation packets are delivered on Mondays for sessions occurring that week.
- What if my evaluation packet was mistakenly delivered to the wrong office?
-
If you have not received your packet by 9 a.m. on Monday, please contact Josh Iorio (joshiorio@austin.utexas.edu or 232-1772). If there are any changes to your location or contact information, please update the x500 directory.
- What can I do to make the evaluation process more efficient?
Please remind students of the following:
- Enter the course unique number on the evaluation.
- Bubble in the circles and not to check, circle, or underline a choice.
- Use the provided pencils.
- Where do I send the evaluation forms?
-
Please turn in your evaluation packets (completed evaluation forms, left-over blank forms, pencils, and attendance sheet) to Josh Iorio in MAI 2205 as soon as possible after your session.
- What if I can’t drop off the evaluation forms to MAI 2205?
-
Contact Josh Iorio (joshiorio@austin.utexas.edu or 232-1772) if you're not able to drop off the evaluation forms to MAI 2205. He will happily pick them up from you.
- Should I send the evaluations via campus mail?
-
Please do not send the evaluation forms via campus mail because they are at risk of being damaged. Damaged evaluation forms cannot be read by Scantron.
- What if I have not received my evaluation packet before my scheduled session?
-
In the event that you do not receive your evaluation packet before your scheduled session, you can print the ASPECTS Post-Session Evaluation Form (PDF).
These forms should be used only as a last resort because they have to be transferred by hand to the appropriate Scantron forms.

Please direct all queries concerning the ASPECTS evaluation process to Josh Iorio (joshiorio@austin.utexas.edu or 232-1772).

-
View your session information available to registrants from list of ASPECTS sessions. Click on the title of your session to read the description and objectives.
- I have reviewed the online description and objectives for my session but it no longer matches the content of what I present, how do I update the online information for my session?
If this description does not accurately reflect your session, then make the necessary changes and send them to Josh Iorio (joshiorio@austin.utexas.edu or 232-1772). This will ensure consistency of the session descriptions and the content of the sessions allowing attendees to be accurately informed of the sessions they plan to attend.
