Measuring Value-Added Contribution of Louisiana Agriculture. Coordinated effort to evaluate the size and scope of the overall food and fiber system within the Louisiana economy. This resulted in the development of the Agriculture: Multi-billion Dollar Industry publication generated on ad-hoc basis (2004-2010). A complimentary report on value-added creation of food and fiber product for individual parishes (parish economic profiles) was generated for 2003-2007.
Measuring Economic Impacts of Agricultural and Rural Policy Scenarios. Coordinate and facilitate efforts for measuring indirect and induced (multiplier) effects of agricultural and rural development policies. Major examples include measuring economic impacts of policy changes to management of agricultural ports (Baton Rouge port), and changes in H-2B visa policies on agricultural and seafood processors, among others.
Local Government Financial Disaster Resilience Program. Lead efforts of LSU AgCenter extension and LA and MS-AL Sea Grant Extension faculty to measuring the financial vulnerability and financial capacity of local (parish, county, municipal) governments to natural disaster events (with a focus on hurricanes/tropical storms). The program also evaluated and facilitated optimal policies to mitigate gaps between financial vulnerability and capacity based on local stakeholder preferences.
Teaching evaluations are based on the Louisiana State University College of Agriculture Student Perception of Teaching (SPOT) Evaluation, adopted from the Evaluation and Examination Service of the University of Iowa. Teachers in the College of Agriculture (COA) are evaluated in every class through administration of the SPOT evaluation instrument. In the Department of Agricultural Economics and Agribusiness, these evaluations are used for both teaching improvement and as an input for promotion and tenure decisions.
Historically, SPOT contained a total of 20 questions, scaled from 1 to 5, with 5 being the best. The faculty in the College of Agriculture were required to include five standardized questions allowing for comparisons across the College. The other 15 questions allowed comparison of the instructor with departmental scores, as well as providing a time series for analysis of an individual. Students are encouraged to provide written comments to the instructor.
The evaluation procedure has recently been restructured and 10 questions are now included in the evaluation from which course, departmental average, and college averages are calculated. Consequently, for coursework starting in Spring 2014, overall SPOT scores were not calculated.
