Academic Administrators communicate the importance of course feedback surveys to educators and students. When administrators use the results of the surveys to support faculty development and course improvement, the intention of the surveys become more apparent and more important.

As part of the College’s quality assurance process, asking students to provide feedback on every academic course every term is an exemplary and necessary quality standard. It speaks to the College’s commitment to stakeholder input at the course-level.

Course feedback surveys from students provide direct input on key areas of importance for course quality. Paying attention to results will improve our course and program quality as well as student satisfaction.

You can access course feedback results/reports for the Schools/Divisions you are responsible for by clicking on the Course Feedback link at the top of the main navigation bar in Brightspace.

The dashboard should look like this:

From here, you can monitor response rates to encourage greater participation during the survey administration window. This is also where you will find the report for each of the courses in the programs you have responsibility for. The survey report is available 7 days after the survey close date.

You can click on any of the courses (or select multiple courses at one time) and click View, PDF or Print to see the report for any of the courses selected. The following screenshot shows what reports will look like for Academic Administrators.

After final grades have been submitted for each course (7 days after the official course end date in PeopleSoft), you will be able to login to view the results and generate reports (please see above, “How do I access CoursEval/my reports?”).

At this time, we are asking standard questions for all surveys.

The results will be available to the faculty teaching the course and the administrator who “owns” the course in Academic Logistics (i.e. administrator who has the authority to approve changes to the course outcomes).
