Administration of Course and Teaching Evaluations in Class

Faculty are encouraged to provide class-time for students to complete their course evaluations.ÌýBy setting aside 20 minutes during class for students to complete course evaluations, instructors are not only increasing the overall student response rates, but they are also increasing the likelihood that students have time to think through their responses.

In preparation to carve out class-time for course evaluations, faculty may want to remind students to bring a mobile device to class (smart phone, tablet, laptop), or remind them of theÌýiPad Loaner ProgramÌýat the Jean and Alexander Heard Library.

Recommended Strategies to Increase Student Completion

  • Designate time in class for students to complete evaluations.
  • Tell your students that you value their honest and constructive feedback.
  • Let your students know that you are interested in both positive and negative feedback.
  • Describe the kind of feedback you find most useful.
  • Remind students thatÌýevaluations are designed to be completely anonymousÌýand that you will not be able to see any of their evaluationsÌýuntil after final grades have been submitted.
  • Let students know that you are the primary audience for their feedback, but that others will potentially read their evaluations, including department and school administrators. Course evaluations play a role in personnel evaluations and in curriculum planning.
  • Consider including language in your syllabus that addresses student evaluations.
